MY WORK AS DIRECTOR AND DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY HELPED CREATIVE TEAMS GARNER 13 PALM D'ORS AND A CLEO AWARD. A FOUNDING TEAM MEMBER OF GRAVITY WELL STUDIO, I RECENTLY CO-DEVELOPED A 4500 SQFT VIRTUAL PRODUCTION STAGE IN COLLABORATION WITH THE GENIUSES AT SMASH VIRTUAL STUDIOS.

A CHICAGO NATIVE RAISED IN FOOD CULTURE, MY EARLY YEARS IN COMMERCIAL KITCHENS SPARKED LATER OPPORTUNITIES FILMING FOOD AND BEVERAGE. YET, REGARDLESS OF THE SUBJECT, I’M ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THE HUMAN MOMENTS IN STORIES, SOMETIMES AWKWARD, USUALLY FUNNY. ULTIMATELY, I’M AN ACTOR’S DIRECTOR, UNDERSTANDING THEIR PROCESS AND SPEAKING A SHORTHAND THAT DRAWS THE BEST PERFORMANCES ON THE DAY.
