More about me:
I was born in Washington, D.C., raised in Seattle.
Studied at Wesleyan University (Photography & Set Design) and NYU Tisch Graduate School (Directing & Cinematography).
I love it when my work lets me travel and seek out projects that are a little to the side of the expected. Most recently: Cambodia and the Utah canyonlands.
My approach:
Every project is different, and every director requires unique support and assistance in realizing their vision. My support comes in many forms, but should always be unselfish, efficient and kind.
Elevate the subtext, reveal the unspoken, and bring the visual life into accord with the emotional experience of the film.
