I spent my childhood building robots and playing bike tag in the streets of Brooklyn, New York. I went on to study Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering at Princeton University where my senior thesis, “Camera Stabilization with a Stewart Platform”, won the Enoch J. Durbin Prize in engineering innovation. After graduating from college, I moved back home to Brooklyn to pursue my passion for filmmaking. I studied writing, directing, and cinematography at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts and made several award winning short films, both as a director and a cinematographer. I now run a production company called Gates & Greene where I create and direct video campaigns for clients like Princeton University, Dom Perignon, and Bystander Revolution, an anti-bullying organization, where I also served as Creative Director for two years. I'm also the Creative Director of “BTYM”, the Youth Ministry at my church, The Brooklyn Tabernacle, famous for its six-time Grammy Award-winning Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir.
This is a piece I edited and did motion graphics for. The client was Dom Pérignon and the assignment was to take footage from all of their events and compile them into an exciting sizzle reel.
This is a piece I directed for Princeton University on the Co-Founder & CEO of Akamai Technologies, an 8 billion dollar technology company in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The video is the first in a series of videos on entrepreneurship.
Produced for Bystander Revolution
This is a montage made from some 350 videos I directed for Bystander Revolution, an anti-bullying organization. The videos feature celebrities and students discussing their personal experiences with bullying and offer practical advice on how bystanders can help.
This is a piece I directed for Princeton University on the 14th Dalai Lama. The video was centered around a conversation the Dalai Lama had with 150 Princeton students and covered the social action inspired by that conversation.
