Just call me a termagant...an aging visual storyteller who just can't seem to give it up. I began in the film era shooting 16mm single and double system and moved on through Umatic 3/4, Beta, DVC Pro and then into the digital era. Storytelling is in my DNA. After re-inventing myself several times I'm now focusing on longer form and more complex stories. While I can handle quick turnaround and breakers, my preference is to embrace a story and get to know the characters and the issues. I guess you'd call it long slow news.
