My Reel
All footage in this reel was either filmed by me personally, or taken from a project I directed. Examples from my 20+ years of experience include news, interviews, multi-camera dance performances, culinary content, and live sports broadcasts.
I edited and shot this field news video in just a few hours for CGTN’s Sarah Coates while imbedded in an active wildfire zone in the south of France. Leveraging my years of experience in production and post-production, I turned out a polished piece quickly that the network was very pleased with, meeting the broadcast deadline with ease.

My clients
I produced and shot this video for San Diego's prestigious "The Old Globe" to promote a Shakespeare workshop they offer to students every year. The process involved a comprehensive pre-production and consulting phase, followed by multiple shoot days, and finally minor revisions in post-production to result in a 96 second promo that the client loved.
