I’m a filmmaker and creative director with nearly a decade of experience shooting, directing, and producing narrative, documentary, and branded films. My work spans independent feature films, documentaries, commercial campaigns, and broadcast content. I’ve led productions from development through delivery — building crews, shaping story arcs, operating the camera, and guiding projects in the edit bay to a polished final product. I specialize in: • Director of Photography • Camera Operation • Documentary & Feature Production • Story-Driven Brand Films I’m drawn to visually grounded storytelling — projects that feel honest, intentional, and cinematic. Whether I’m operating camera on set or producing behind the scenes, I bring calm leadership, technical precision, and a strong sense of narrative structure. I’ve collaborated with agencies, production teams, and mission-driven organizations to create films that connect emotionally and deliver strategically. If you’re looking for someone who understands both story and production logistics — from indie features to documentary shoots — I’d love to connect.
