Los Angeles Director

About

I have over fourteen years of solid experience in fields of video, television, and online production, with several projects being behind-the-scenes material and short form documentaries. This includes the behind-the-scenes featurettes for the 2020 feature film The Forgiving, for which I also served as Producer. The film was directed by CINE Golden Eagle-winner David J. Stern, and executive produced by Emmy Award-winner Peter Mitchell, and is available on worldwide streaming platforms via Indie Rights, Inc. I was additionally responsible for managing our audience/press outreach efforts, and crowdfunding campaign.

I currently contribute monthly video essays to the Anime News Network, for whom I just completed a 48-minute showbiz documentary on anime maverick Hideaki Anno – I wrote, narrated, edited, and sourced all of the information/material present in the film. I taught digital film production and screen acting to high school and middle school students at Imagination Stage in Bethesda, MD for five years, while assisting on their promotional and behind-the-scenes material as camera operator, grip, editor and assistant editor. I was likewise employed for 11 years at the Carroll County Youth Service Bureau as a Video/Audio Technician, creating their in-house promotional and training videos. I also served as a Community Producer for Channel 19 Public Access in Carroll County, MD for six years, assisting on productions as camera operator, grip, gaffer, technical director, publicity photographer, assistant editor, and production assistant.

I have worked on projects for the Washington International Trade Association, Registrar Corp, former Admiral/Congressman Joseph Sestak, the American Heart Association, The Real News Network, TV Worldwide, and the National Building Museum. I have been awarded two Vollie Television Awards, received Honorable Mentions at the LA Movie Awards and the Sound And Vision International Film & Technology Festival, was nominated for the 2019 Jean-Luc Godard Award in Experimental Film by Cult Critic Magazine, and won Best Feature Film at the 2021 Maryland International Film Festival for The Forgiving.
