I am a media generalist with experience writing, directing, editing, producing, and production managing. I work in TV, film and other video content, as well as provide marketing and communications services. For over 25 years I’ve creatively driven projects from feature films to streaming series, and produced effective sales materials such as pitch decks and sizzle reels for hundreds of shows. I created Grey Area Media Inc. in 2001 to develop film and TV projects, provide creative development and production services for entertainment companies, and to craft pitch materials that help green light projects. I have led teams through international logistics, IT, post-production, licensing, VFX pipelines, and BTS workflows, delivering compelling materials and finished programs. I have created pitch decks, logos, websites and other communication tools for corporations, focussing on narrative and documentary features. My pitches are successful; over 15 million dollars of funding has been secured using them, for clients such as CBC, BBC, PBS, and independent producers. I also design artwork and movie posters such as for the recent series Shared Planet. While
