ABOUT ME
Filmmaker . Producer
Whether it's a documentary, a feature, photograph or the written word - I specialize in illuminating the unique aspects of a story that others may skim over. I approach topics with empathy, curiosity and professionalism. My goal is for the viewer to share a deep connection and sense of curiosity with the subject, forgetting that any other person was ever involved in bringing the story to life.
