Hey! I'm a New York-based filmmaker and video journalist; I've produced videos for The New Yorker, the NY Times, Vice HBO and other news outlets. I have a varied background that allows me to combine creative storytelling with solid journalism (I'm a graduate of the CUNY J-School, and before that worked in independent film). My personal work tends to be off-beat and character-driven, but I've also covered breaking news both domestically and abroad, and I'm comfortable working as a collaborator or as a one-man-band. I look forward to hearing from you!
