AVANT-GARDE FILMMAKER & PRODUCER

As I manifest my own films, art, and for-hire creations, I strive for excellence, originality, boldness, and artistic integrity. I am a passionate filmmaker inspired by skate videos, music, circus weirdos, and avant-garde art.

I was exposed to the wondrous world of experimental cinema by my UVA undergrad mentor Kevin Jerome Everson; I then continued intense studies and hands-on experimentation at Cal Arts under MFA mentors James Benning, Charlotte Pryce, Lew Klahr, and Betzy Bromberg. After graduating, I skated off to join the circus for a few months to perform live on TV for millions of viewers in Abu Dhabi and around the United Arab Emirates.

I’ve developed shows for NBCUniversal, SnapChat, YouTube, Levity Live (owners of The Improv), and Razor Scooters. I’ve edited many viral videos, some for the likes of Shay Mitchell, Lilly “Superwoman” Singh, Livestong.com, eBay, Cirque du Soleil, Grupo Vidanta, Dr. Bronner’s, Studio71, Tastemade, PopSugar, Astronauts Wanted, Kyra.com, amongst others.
