About
Fun. Collaborative. Creative. Business guy. I am an Independent Producer, Director, Storyteller, Executive Producer, Editor, DP and Businessman. I’m proud of the trust amazing artists have shared with me. Prince, U2, RunDMC, Wyclef Jean, Janet Jackson, just to name drop a few. They allow me to tell stories that are important to them. Companies I respect do the same thing. NBC, MTV, The Beijing Opera Company and more, come to me to add depth, beauty and immediacy to their projects. I know the power of great storytelling. My passion for production has taken me around the world – and as an entrepreneur, I continue to look for, develop and collaborate with others to bring fun, meaningful projects to life. These are a few of the highlights: - Director for 2 national Emmy-winning PBS specials with financial guru Suze Orman. - Director-Producer-Editor on legendary music producers Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis’s PBS documentary pilot profiling their work with artists Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Boyz II Men, and others. - Director-Producer of multi-cam projects with Garrison Keillor, Bobby McFerrin and David Hyde Pierce, along with 3 major productions for MN Opera, including their Pulitzer prize-winning “Silent Night.” - Creative Consultant-Developer with Bizarre Foods’ Andrew Zimmern, developing branded content and broadcast specials. - Director-Producer-Editor for a crazy live concert in Haiti, with the Fugees, before a crowd of nearly 65 thousand! A huge success – in spite of major remote challenges. - Director-Producer in South Africa for MTV’s “Advance Warning” (their American Idol like TV series). - Director-Collaborator with the BLACK Agency - producing an emotional story for St. Jude Children’s Hospital, featuring Drew Barrymore. - Owner-Creative Force behind Moving Pictures, Inc.. A full-service storytelling machine, built from years of moving forward and making opportunities where non seemed to exist before. Merged with Academy award-winning producer Bill Pohlad (River Road Entertainment) developing various projects. - Writer-Director-Producer-Host I received national and international attention from global film festivals with my feature documentary called “I Do?”. After opening in Montreal & Singapore, it won Best Documentary at TCFF - in MN. www.idodocumentary.com - Author-Photographer of an inspirational photography book called “Up North”, from Tristan Publishing.
