I have had the pleasure of working in the film industry for over twenty-five years as an award-winning international Director and Director of photography. My career has taken me to all corners of the globe, tasked with the enviable opportunity of making dreams come true for major international and personal clients alike.
I have a unique skill set that includes a love of script and story writing that combines perfectly with the experience of a director who has planned and successfully executed extremely high-stakes projects while always focusing on the unique nature of every client story. Yet my real advantage lies in the fact that I am also an international Director of Photography and an accomplished editor. The combinations of these unique skill create a fluid system that moves fast and delivers beyond expectation.
The following is a short showcase of the projects I have completed for numerous world wide clients. I look forward to meeting and working with you soon.
