I am an experienced filmmaker and cinematographer. I come from a tradition of small crews producing big results for long-form documentaries to narrative commercials. Some clients include: National Geographic, Sundance Channel, o9 Solutions, Wayfair, A&E, MSNBC Although I consider myself an all-around filmmaker who can step into any role of a production, my specialty and passion is in cinematography, directing, and color grading. My passion is in telling stories that generate emotion and energy. Stories that make a difference, stories that make us laugh or cry, or make us see things from a different perspective. I love documentaries that are so unbelievable that they have to be true, and scripted stories that teach us about the nature of life. As a filmmaker, I bring my experiences from living on 3 continents and 5 countries, from my background at NYU where I first fell in love with filmmaking, and the countless mentors and colleagues who have been with me on this journey. If you want a solid, reliable crew member who will bring his A game to every shoot then I would love to receive your call.
