I am always looking for the soul of a project, that unique spirit and mood that is universally resonant. As a director, I intuitively pinpoint the most telling and trenchant elements of a character’s story. As a cinematographer, I am able to translate them into vivid visuals. As a collaborator, I dedicate my efforts to delivering my client’s goals all while bringing that shared vision – agency, client, creatives, filmmakers – to its fullest potential.
