New DoP Reel!
Iām so appreciative of all the director and crew friends who trusted me with their visions and helped to realize and elevate my ideas.
Iāve spent a lot of time the last two years directing and working with animation, which has changed the way I see visual storytelling, collaboration, and team leadership.
Iām excited to bring what Iāve learned to original, heartfelt, weird, and good-for-the-world projects ahead. Hope to see you on set!
