Directing

I believe there are compelling stories all around us and get tremendous creative satisfaction from utilizing the tools of cinema to make beautiful, entertaining, emotionally resonant and thought-provoking films from real life stories. My style as a documentary filmmaker is character-driven and commercially viable. I have been commissioned to direct short form character-profile documentaries for clients ranging from non-profits to small businesses to major brands. 

My unique narrative directing style is informed by my experiences studying Film History, Theory and Criticism at Columbia and inspired by a broad range of entertaining movies and tv shows. Having written my masters thesis at Oxford on screwball comedy of the 1930s, I have a deep understanding of comic timing, nuanced dialogue performance and physical comedy. From several years of working in vérité documentary film, I have developed a naturalistic visual style that lends itself well to low budget filmmaking.
