Over the past fifteen years, I have produced and edited arts-related programming for a wealth of companies including Sundance Channel, The Criterion Collection, Vice Media, and Etsy. My interest in storytelling and documentary has led me to notable and quirky places around the world. From a woodworker in rural Missouri, to a Mexican family band in the Rio Grande Valley, to an abandoned textile mill town in Lancashire, UK. My stories seek to get to the heart - of the story, the character, and what it means to be human.
