I am a documentary Director/Producer based out of New Orleans and New York City. I work as a dp/camera operator and as a field producer for hire. I have made 2 feature length documentaries and several short form docs. My first film SHELL SHOCKED, which looks at gun violence in New Orleans from the perspective of the youth aired nationally on PBS’ America Reframed series in February of 2015. The film continues to be used as a training tool for law enforcement, teachers, and organizations that work with teens. My latest film 91% examines the national gun debate through our laws surrounding the background check system and was released through The Cinema Guild. I have worked on projects with Bravo, Comedy Central, Viacom, Sierra Club, City of New Orleans, and The Louisiana Endowment for The Humanities. I am known for bringing honesty in the telling of difficult stories while maintaining the integrity of the people and the truth.

An interview with Kira Orange Jones, the Executive Director for Teach for America for Time's 100 Most Influential People 2015.
New Orleans is one of the "murder capitals" of the U.S.; statistics show murder rates are 4-6x higher than the national average. 80% of the victims are black males, mostly in their teenage years. Shell Shocked starts at the surface of the teen murder epidemic and delves into the hearts and minds of those whose lives are most deeply impacted.
