About
I create character-driven films that focus on authentic human stories and emotional connection. With extensive experience in directing, cinematography, and editing, I handle projects from concept through final delivery, shaping narratives that are visually compelling and built to engage audiences. My documentaries have screened at Oscar-qualifying festivals including SXSW, Doc NYC, and Palm Springs ShortFest.
Top skills:
• Directing – crafting story structure and guiding performances
• Cinematography – capturing intentional, cinematic visuals
• Editing – weaving footage into strong, cohesive narratives
I offer full production services for documentaries, branded films, and short-form content, as well as story consulting for projects that need a clear narrative direction.
