I have over 10 years experience in commercial video production and 15 years experience in feature filmmaking (having started in special fx with miniature work and moving on through screenwriting, cinematography and directing). My specialty is run-and-gun small productions working against time and budget constraints. My favorite type of work is narrative but I also love interviewing people and working on documentary-style projects.
