NYC Born

LA Livin’

 The first documentary I remembered watching was Ken Burn’s The Civil War.  Having shared a room with my brother and sister, I had to wait for them to leave so I could watch the series on an old rotary dial television.  The film’s use of creative storytelling techniques to mold a real life event into compelling cinema would ignite a lifelong passion for creative non-fiction.

Fast forward a few decades to me going to film school(much to my mom’s disappointment).  While working full-time as a video producer and editor, I pursued my MFA in Documentary Film Production.  After graduating, I took the plunge into independent documentary film where I worked on projects that would screen at Sundance, TIFF, SXSW, as well as being released theatrically, on television, and on digital streaming platforms.  I also honed my production and post-production skills working with advertising agencies, startups, non-profits, and academic institutions. 

So what else should you know about me?  First, I take pride in my working class roots. Second, I love getting feedback…no really, I do;  I thrive on collaboration.  Lastly, I’m simply a down to earth person who is quite the delight to work with.

Oh also, I play the banjo.
