I'm an Emmy-winning documentary filmmaker based in San Francisco, California. I have a passion for telling the untold stories, and for telling them in a way that lets the viewer into the lives of others in an intimate and view-altering way. My feature-length documentary "Waking Up to Wildfires" was nominated for an Emmy in 2020, and my short doc, A Brush With the Tenderloin, won an Emmy award in June 2013. I also create videos for editorial, non-profit, and corporate clients, favoring those clients who want 'story' to be the backbone of their video. Before embracing documentary film about seven years ago, I was a print journalist and investigative reporter. I worked on newspaper in my native Iowa and in California, and also worked as a foreign correspondent in Mexico City, Mexico for five years.

My name is Henry. I recently graduated from The American University of Rome having received a Bachelor of Arts in Film. During my time at AUR I worked on a number of projects, primarily non-fiction narrative both for my senior thesis and the Film Festival Club. My primary role in all of these projects was director while also doing cinematography, editing and sound. In both Rome and here in California, I have pursued film photography as a hobby. In Europe my focus was architecture, and in the Western United States it was landscapes. I use Adobe Lightroom for editing. For video editing I use DaVinci Resolve Studio, though I am also proficient with Adobe Premiere Pro. Prior to college, I was a Boy Scout, having received the rank of Eagle. This instilled within me a strong work ethic, a trustworthy character, and the constant desire to learn new things and try out new ideas.

I am an Oakland-based shooter/editor. Before moving to video in the mid-00's, I worked as a photo assistant and photographer for advertising and editorial where honed my lighting skills and technical camera knowledge. I have worked on projects ranging from independent feature films to short documentary series to corporate explainers. I was born in Singapore, transported to the Mid-Atlantic and grew up Chinese Minnesotan. Moved to the Bay Area as a lot of folks were heading the other direction. Fast friends, but not really much of a hugger. When not working (but not malfunctioning), you can sometimes find me playing music or riding my bike, but you're just as likely to find me on the couch reading or napping.

I’m a producer, videographer, editor and storyteller. I’ve worked in documentary video production for more than 10 years, focusing on stories of human interest and health. I received my MA in Broadcast Journalism from the Annenberg School of Journalism at the University of Southern California. And although I no longer work in “day-to-day news”, I am using the skills I attained at Annenberg to help tell meaningful stories of couples, organizations, and individuals. A native of the Sonoma wine country, I love nature, meeting new people and learning as much as I can about the world around me. When I’m not behind the camera, I can be found tending to my garden, feeding my turtles, or experimenting in the kitchen!
