About

Since I was a kid, I've always wanted to be a storyteller. It started out at comic books, being able to draw on a page exactly how I envisioned a story to play out. Eventually I realized that with enough work, I could do it with a camera.

The shift from traditional art to camera work was gradual. I attribute it to watching behind the scenes footage of all my favorite movies as a kid (back when you needed to buy DVDs). The process fascinated me, and from that point on I found a greater appreciation for filmmaking. When I was 13, I started using any camera I could get my hands, typically belonging to my grandfather. After nearly 10 years, I've made 4 short films, started my own production company, and now I wish to provide that experience to others.
