I’ve had the honour to direct web spots, branded shorts and am continually looking to expand my directing portfolio.
If you’re a brand, writer or artist in search of a director - Let’s Chat.
Storytelling is what I was born to do. I am itching to telI stories that are full of whimsy, and fun. I am currently developing multiple projects in an array of genres.
Furthermore I run the Reelworld Emerging 20 Program and the Reelworld Amazon Training Lab. These programs are top of the line writing programs for emerging and mid-level writers. I’ve had the opportunity to read a LOT of scripts and provided valuable feedback.
