FILMMAKING
My passion for visual storytelling has inevitably led me to film. As an independent filmmaker, I produce, direct, shoot, and edit my own projects. On occasion, I also collaborate with other directors, cinematographers, screenwriters, and editors and deeply appreciate the teamwork involved in any successful film production.
HIGHLIGHT
REEL
Sites of Survival
Sites of Survival is a feature documentary that weaves together stories of individuals using their art to process trauma with autoethnographic footage documenting my own use of film, photography, and writing to explore my subjectivity as a survivor and witness.
The Huldufolk Project
In August 2025, screenwriter Brian Silberman and I traveled to Iceland to collaborate on a project that combines our creative practices. The result is a film essay called The Huldufolk Project. This is a clip from the film.
Gentling
This is a teaser for a documentary series I am working on featuring different horse trainers throughout the US. The trainer featured here is Greg Russell, who I filmed at his ranch near Abiquiu, NM.
Hinges
Filmed in Paris, in collaboration with brand strategist and thought leader, Philip Gaskin. This is a teaser for a documentary series exploring the stories of small, influential brands.
