I am an award-winning, multi-faceted filmmaker based in Los Angeles. Over the past 20 years I have traveled from the remotest beaches of Indonesia and the Solomon Islands to the bustling red carpets of Hollywood, serving as Director, Producer, Cameraman, Editor, and Writer on a diverse series of documentaries and films. I am currently in production on a blue-chip film (as Writer/Director), The Hudson River: Journey Into The Wild, written and developed for Skyland Productions / RanFilms, (Austria), and co-funded by Smithsonian Channel and ARTE. My most recent films cover science and nature themes for National Marine Sanctuary Foundation, Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary, NOAA, U.S. National Marine Fisheries Service, the Smithsonian Institute, as well as for NGO’s such as WWF, Wildcoast International, Ocean Ecology Network, ProNatura, and The Nature Conservancy. In Los Angeles, my work includes filming for Oprah Winfrey, Jon Peters, and John Goldstone; filming behind-the-scenes on feature films; editing actors’ promotional reels; creating social media content, and filming/producing/editing music videos. I also have extensive experience in creating corporate films.

From the high peaks and forests of the Adirondacks to the far reaches of the Atlantic–this is the true Hudson: a vast, untamed wilderness that continues to amaze with each breeding cycle and season.
