I tell stories, real stories about real people, places, and things. Real stories can be the most powerful, dramatic, funny, scary, and romantic. Documentary is not my passion, it is literally part of who I am.

My films are character driven rather than historical or issue focused. I want to teach people about each other as I learn about them. Fans and Freaks: The Culture of Comics and Conventions came from my own geeky passion for comics, games, and genre fandom. This feature was a comfort zone for me as a person and as a filmmaker but as the project grew across fandom events around the country I laughed, cried, and grew as a person right along with my subjects. Films that followed all focused on unique people doing unique things from “A Cheaper Way to Go”, a short about a wholesale casket dealer to “Dramedies” a feature about actors at a murder mystery dinner theater. I returned to fandom for a magazine series called “Con Trek” produced for Microsoft and aired on the XBOX360 platform. After three feature films and over twenty short narrative and documentary shorts I still think real people are more fascinating than any written character.

With “Family of Fear”, my current documentary project I continue to expose unique, artsy, and important people that the world at large may not be aware of.

My comfortable place is among creatives, artists, and random outcasts that most mirror my own life. My current film "Family of Fear" finds a group of eclectic people suffering from bullying and depression supporting each other within a haunted house attraction. They deal with their own fear by bringing fear to others.

My previous feature "Dramatique" reveals the cutthroat world os stage acting inside a murder mystery dinner theater. "Fans and Freaks" is a feature that dove deep into the world of gaming, movies, and cosplaying fandom before San Diego Comic Con became mainstream. Again, these films feature quirky characters telling real stories of drama, humor, and love. The short films "Tasty Weed" and "River Reflections" put the microscope on small southern communities revealing their bonds and their eccentricities. "A Cheaper Way to Go" offered a fascinating and mostly lighthearted look at death through the eyes of a wholesale casket dealer inside his showroom in a strip mall beside a salon and check cashing establishment.

Some say that my unique vision" for film and story, and quirky characters rises from my being a legally blind filmmaker. Certainly I approach the visual portion filmmaking in different ways simply due to not always being able to see things in the traditional way. On top of that, I have learned to collaborate with a good team, and to clearly and concisely share my "vision" for each project with team members to ensure what I'm striving for in telling a story in fact does make it to the screen.
