I have a passion to connect with the audience and communicate with the world. As a visionary, creative cinematographer and filmmaker with passion for performing arts and independent films,.
I support, encourage and nurture unique and creative expressions in performing and visual arts including motion picture landscape. I believe in the power of these mediums to change and enrich lives on both sides of the fence, the creator and the recipient.
