I'm a San Francisco-based producer with 12+ years of journalism and TV production experience across the US and Middle East. My diverse experience ranges from working as a fixer and producer in conflict zones to producing a half-hour monthly feature program for CNBC about investment opportunities and business trends in the Middle East (just me and one cameraman/editor!). I'm equally adept at conceiving and planning a story idea, writing a script, managing a crew, and overseeing the edit and assembly. Doing news for more than a decade has made me versatile and calm under pressure, and I pride myself on getting things done. I'm currently back in my hometown of San Francisco, an exciting place to cover subjects such as tech innovation, alternative culture, wellness trends, and an international arts, food and lifestyle scene. I am also well-versed in international and local politics. I love to create and I'm excited to work with you!

Hey, I'm Wes! I just recently finished working on the set of "Silence," by Martin Scorsese in Taiwan. I am a recent graduate from college and have been jumping at as many opportunities as I can to learn as much as possible. I have been very into creating documentary styled videos lately as I believe they hold a lot of power. I love to travel to new places and think about what kind of shot or scene I would shoot there. I believe music is a very key element of creating something emotionally charged. Outside of filmmaking, I love eating new foods, sports, and gaming! I hope to be the right fit for you and I look forward to working with you soon!

I am from Milan, Italy, and I immigrated to the US in 2009. In Milan, I achieved my bachelor's in Advertising as a copywriter then won a grant to join one of the finest film companies at the time, Central Productions. After a few steps in commercials, I joined a Post facility (Rumblefish) where I worked as an AVID editor (commercials, documentaries, TV Shows, you name it) in the pioneering years of NLE, the mid-'90s. After three years immersed in Post, I began to freelance and merge my advertising studies with my tech skills. I evolved professionally as a writer, video, and convention director across Europe for Fortune 50, as well as filming documentary footage in Tibet. Relocating to the US was a major change in my life. I went through a long immigration process and health challenges. From the time I arrived in the US to the time I received a life-changing green card, I endured years of unemployment due to Visa restrictions, and battled cancer at the bone marrow while being a stay-at-home dad to my newborn daughter. Such experiences shaped my approach to work in new ways– I’ve learned the literal meaning of resilience, increased my empathy, and try to make days meaningful and joyful. In 2016, I wrote and directed my first US short film called Thank You Rebbe. In 2017, at the age of 44, I received my green card and returned to collaborating and volunteering with film projects. Soon, I was helping nonprofits meet their filmmaking needs, and in 2018, I accepted a full-time position as a video director at the Jewish United Fund of Chicago. The first project I wrote and produced was a video raising awareness about anti-Semitism in the US. In 2020, I received a Silver Telly Award and a Midwest EMMY nomination for this video. In 2021, my short film Thank You Rebbe won the Best Jewish Film Award at the Cannes World Film Festival - Remember The Future competition. My professional expertise includes developing creative strategy, managing creative and production teams, and developing content for Arts, Broadcast, Corporate, Entertainment, and Non-Profit initiatives. My passion for storytelling led me to wear multiple hats, from founding niche social networks to directing videos and conventions. I love to travel and have developed projects in China, the Czech Republic, Greece, Italy, Netherlands, Russia, Tibet, and the USA.
