As a director, I love creating the space for authenticity, intimacy and humor to emerge in the field.

I enjoy both meticulous planning and shot-listing as well as the surrender that comes with vérité filmmaking. My background as a producer, cinematographer, and editor bleeds into everything that I do. I tend to be very hands on in all aspects of the process, from pre-production through post. As a lifelong percussionist, I bring a rhythmic, musical sense to my work and prioritize the audio elements of a story as much as the visuals.

I’m most often drawn to stories about the natural world and our relationship to it. I’m fascinated by the grey areas in psychology, humanity and life itself. I love exploring deeper, darker human emotions, but always come back to hope, resilience and optimism.
