About
I'm a documentary filmmaker and photographer, and my work covers a wide range genres and topics. Whether I'm shooting in conflict zone or a the comfort of a controlled set, my approach remains constant. I value the intimacy of storytelling combined and the beauty of cinematography. My background is based on small crew, high production value projects set in challenging, even hostile locations. My recent films have included a conflict documentary set in the Congo (DRC), and food resource doc set in Bolivia. Currently, I’m in preproduction on a scripted film I’ll be directing in central Africa, and a documentary set in Nicaragua.
