Director, Photographer & Creative Producer

CV - Los Angeles - Current Spring 2026

Profile

Cross disciplinary Creative Director and Filmmaker with 20+ years of hands on execution. I thrive leading focused teams of 3 to 12 people to build deep, strategically aligned projects. I reject the 'move fast and break things' mentality in favor of deliberate, high impact craft. I have done it all on set and in the studio: PA, gaffer, producer, casting director, writer, editor, and web developer. I integrate AI as an enhancement tool to push boundaries beyond human limits, never to replace the human element. My visual language fuses noir, punk DIY, 90s high fashion, and 80s MTV. Influenced by fine art, surrealism, comic books, and art films, my aesthetic is defined by clean, highly graphic compositions balancing heavy cinematic drama with bold pops of color.
