I’m a filmmaker living/working in New York and LA.  I’m a director and cinematographer making music videos, documentaries and experimental shorts.  My work focuses on love, our inherent push to grow and overcome, our journey as souls and as animals, the search for acceptance of life and mortality, our struggles to embrace ourselves wholly.  It is an ode to the moments of light and clarity however brief, always precious.

Collaboration is crucial to my process, often with musical artists, dancers, designers, brands — co-creating emotional and conceptual worlds based on songs, images and simple ideas. I aim to make a space with my collaborators where we share an understanding of the world we create, with room to discover and play. I am committed to creating work that reflects the aesthetics of my collaborators while staying true to my own style.
