“As a director, I write with the intention of also editing. There’s just so much richness in each of those drafts to pick just one.” — said a very driven, slightly naive younger me.
For years, that quote made up the bulk of this web bio. And while I still believe in the power of wearing multiple creative hats, working as a full-time filmmaker for well over a decade now has deepened my appreciation for collaboration. These days, I’ve found that the filmic puzzle becomes richer, less isolating, and far stronger when built alongside other curious, empathetic storytellers.
Here, you’ll find a collection of projects I’ve had the joy of shaping—as a writer, director, editor, and collaborator. Thanks for stopping by!
All muh best,
^ One of my finest contributions to cinema made by kindergarten-aged me titled simply, Tornado. ^
A gallery of sorts:
A glimpse of the ever-growing mural of mementos from projects I’ve helped craft over the years. Some are portrayed in full poster glory, others a simple ticket stub, small prop or sentimental tchotchke.
Proof of life as I dive deep into a new feature doc edit this year.
Attended two stunning screenings at two historic cinemas: the Aero Theatre and The Los Angeles Theatre (alongside the equally historic Unarius Space Cad) for this immensely collaborative project.
How the majority of 2023 was spent - editing a feature documentary, two short docs and multiple episodes of a doc series. So many screens ‘n cross-eyed puzzles to creatively crack.
