Ironically I started redoing my reel in January of 2025 but fortunately I never finished it. The later months in 2025 brought me some incredible projects that pushed me as a DP and I’m excited to finally share some of them here in my new reel. Thank you to all the Directors, Producers, Agencies and Production Companies that gave me these stories to tell, I can’t wait to see what lies in the year ahead! #cinematography #directorofphotography #doplife #filmmaking #canadianfilmmaker

What a year 2023 was for me; my first year of full-time freelancing, trusting the process, and having faith the next jobs would come. I never thought this was something I’d be able to do but I can definitively say this year is the happiest I’ve been while working. Thank you to all the businesses, couples, musicians, directors and production companies that had me out this year and made this possible.

A night for the books🎇 This years 48hr Flickfest was a little extra special. 5 years ago I competed in my first 48, and it was the first time for most of our crew that we saw our work screened at a festival. I remember seeing it on the big screen and looking up to all the other incredible Cinematographers and award winners that night and knowing that one day I’d be up there with them. Well, 5 years and 4 Flick fests later, it happened. Our Film “Proving Grounds” took home 6 awards, including “Best of Flickfest” and my first “Best Cinematography” award. This film may have been made in 48hrs but it was a cumulation of the last 5 years hard work that got us here. And, just a little reassurance that, maybe, we’re heading in the right direction. Many stars aligned to make this happen and I couldn’t be more thankful to the cast and crew that made it possible. Big thank you to my incredible Camera department @akib_shahariar and @charleswdwyre and my G&E team @timmydotter (@rockyottergaffer ) @insomniacreese and @thekevinnguyen for going above and beyond. And thank you to everyone that supported and pushed me along the way, I can’t wait to see what the next 5 years brings.

For those that haven’t heard, our amazing local gaffer @timmydotter (@rockyottergaffer )’s grip truck died. This is obviously a huge expense and having Tim is a big asset to the Windsor film community so we’ve started a donation page to help him out. Expenses to replace the truck are upwards of $40k so any donations are super helpful. Please help us share the donation page around, the link is in my bio!

Farewell, 979✌️ Thank you to everyone who’s shared and reached out to me about my last couple posts. Yes, the time has come for us to sell the house. I knew this "house" had truly been a "home" for the 5 of us living there, what I had not realized was how many of our friends it had impacted outside of us. It was a hangout, an open door, and the back drop to many films. Thank you for being my home, my safe space and the maker of so many memories. Farewell, 979 Pelissier Street❤️🏡
