Hello! I’m a Los Angeles-based filmmaker with roughly 200 production credits spanning features, TV, music videos, commercials, and documentaries for studios, streamers, networks, record labels, and independent production companies. I’m passionate about lighting, mood, motion, and composition, and I love working in both vivid color and dramatic black-and-white. Beyond shooting, I’ve directed, produced, and edited numerous productions, and I’ve mentored many aspiring filmmakers. I’ve collaborated with Universal, Paramount, Warner Bros., Sony, HBO, ABC, Fox, UMG, Geffen, Motown, Interscope, Virgin, Capitol, Columbia, RCA, Atlantic, Island, Def Jam, Arista, Elektra, and more.
