I'm a Film Director, Photographer & Musician based in San Francisco, California. I use Mixed Media techniques to create stylized & ethereal worlds to take audiences out of their comfort zones in hopes of providing new perspectives and understanding.
I first picked up a camera in the year 2007. It was a great way to escape, get outside and explore my surroundings. That's the way I see it still to this day. The camera is not only a means for me to explore but to help audiences explore, learn and discover. I think, in this way, the camera is more capable than any other tool.
I'm as much of a photographer as I am a film maker if not more so. I'm also a musician and a designer. I take all these disciplines into my film making. Not only does it help me communicate with the members of the teams I work with but it helps me pick up slack and add value to projects in areas where we don't have the finances or other means to do so. At heart, I'm an indie filmmaker and will always be.

--My films are often made using alternative methods such as hand-developing film, filtering footage through analog video synths, corrupting/glitching files or hand-done animation/timelapses.
--In 2014, my professor gifted Werner Herzog a loaded super 8 camera with the request that he shoot it and send the roll back to us to use the footage. He agreed and gifted it to us with a set of guidelines for a project using the footage including that it must be titled "Where's Da Party At?"
