About

[Applying through POV] I've worked as a filmmaker and youth media educator for the past 15 years in New York, creating high-quality stories exploring innovative responses to chronic social issues: particularly primarily prison reform, economic justice, and urban education. After years freelancing for Time.com, Carnegie Hall, and directing a feature doc that was broadcast on PBS World in 2011, I've increasingly been returning to my roots as a youth media educator. My goal has been to cultivate young people into highly professional filmmakers who can produce stories with a freshness of perspective, and access to worlds that remain hidden to mainstream media. The current project "Echoes of Incarceration" works with youth with incarcerated parents. In its first year, the young filmmakers have already been hired as a professional crew for clients including Carnegie Hall, and we're now partnering with Sesame Workshop. We're currently in the final stages of editing our first three advocacy films.
