Director + Editor + Producer

MY APPROACH

Film is a magical creative medium that offers limitless possibilities for storytelling. As a filmmaker, my creative approach is to tell moving, human-centric stories that explore and tap into the power of film. It’s about doing work that is fresh, experimental, and engaging. To work across different styles, a variety of visual approaches, and a broad narrative range. To tell the story and share the message in a way that stands out and communicates to the head and the heart. That’s my approach. I’ve been lucky to have the opportunities and collaborators to help make it happen.

MY STORY

I’m a freelance filmmaker with over 25 years of experience making commercials, docs, branded content, product videos, social content, and the occasional sizzle video.

I’ve directed & edited work for global brands including Uber, McDonald’s, Gap, Nike, Target, Visa, Audi, Budweiser, Benefit & many more. Along the way I’ve built and led production teams at Uber and AKQA.

I have extensive experience working within internal production departments in advertising and tech. So if you’re a producer, marketing manager, project manager, or product manager, I get the unique challenges you encounter with production. Whatever you need, I’ll partner with you to seamlessly find a great solution.

I’ve shot in 10 countries, in over 6 languages, with crews that ranged from 2 people all the way up to 25. My production approach is a maker’s mindset - bring the skills, scale, and mindset that best serve the creative and tell the best story possible. So whether you’re looking for a full-up production or just need someone to shoot, edit, or animate, I can help.

Let’s work together.
