I am a documentary filmmaker currently based in Brooklyn, New York. I have been a freelance filmmaker here for the last 9 years, though last year I lived in Uganda and have spent significant amount of time abroad in other places as well. My education and background is primarily in documentary filmmaking, but I worked in all phases of production on content for HBO, PBS, Comedy Central,&Sundance Channel. I direct, shoot, record sound, and edit, and have my own equipment. I love seeing new places, talking to strangers,and finding small stories that represent much bigger ideas. I am exploring the idea of success and what that means to different cultures around the world and how they go about achieving that. Im also interested in creating stories that inspire others to emulate good ideas.
