About Me:

On set - "Crush" Music Video

I have been a filmmaker for over a decade, initially studying under Jerry Hirniak before attending NYU Tisch School of the Arts to earn a Bachelors of Fine Arts in Film and Television Production. I have worked on a variety of productions, from short/narrative films, to documentaries, to commercial work, with over 1,000 hours of on-set experience. On set, I am trained to perform the vast majority of roles -- however, I specialize in creative direction, camera & lighting operation/design, & sound recording. I am familiar with most modern lighting and camera technology, and am trained in operation of several camera systems such as Blackmagic, Sony FX3/6/9, and ARRI Alexa Mini/35.

I am also a trained and experienced editor/colorist/post-sound mixer, with skills in DaVinci Resolve, Adobe Creative Cloud, Final Cut, Pro Tools, & AVID. I have organized productions, managed budgets, worked with clients to achieve creative cohesion and execution, and directed project pipelines from pre-production through distribution. I have personally directed a number of music videos and short films.

Additionally, I am also extremely experienced and trained musically, which often serves as a foundation and asset for all other work. Growing up, I was a multi-award-winning competitive concert violinist, accumulating 14 years of experience & performing at prestigious venues such as Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall. Today, I utilize these skills through my work in sound design & my award-winning original soundtrack composition. I have scored a variety of projects, including films, documentaries, and commercials.
