About
~ Werner Herzog
German Documentarian
Hello,
I'm filmmaker and producer who specializes in docu-style pieces and research for commercial brands and independent films. I take a tremendous amount of inspiration from people like Werner Herzog, Janusz Kaminski, Laura Esquivel, Andrzej Wajda, and Rick Sebak.
My goal is to combine well-organized film business with top-notch storytelling in order to connect with a variety of viewers. My skills include detailed preproduction, film budget management, post production workflow, doc-style directing and supervising, and proficiency in top-level editing software (Adobe and Davinci Resolve).
Aside from 3+ years of commercial work, I like to work on smaller indie pieces. I have experience on student films, local film competitions, gameshows, and streaming service shows.
I am also the original founder of What Happens Next blog, an educational blog built to bridge the gap between film students and the professional working world. While I've stepped down from my position in 2023 and the blog is on an indefinite hiatus, it was a great organization to be apart of. I was a featured member on the podcast show, What We're Watching, streaming on Spotify, Apple Music, and other audio platforms.
While not working, I enjoy painting, spending time with family, being a volunteer for BBBS of Greater Pittsburgh, and being an active farmhand with the nonprofit J&J Farms Animal Sanctuary.
I have received my B.F.A. in Cinema Production, with a Concentration in Producing and a Minor in Screenwriting, from Point Park University (located in Downtown Pittsburgh) in the Spring of 2022.
