Filmmaker Statement
Filmmaking allows me to make sense of the world around me. I chose this path because I believe images impact the way we see each other and the places far removed from our reality. Still and moving images do more than tell stories, they transform our perceptions and open new worlds to viewers. I love the places my camera leads me to, and the people it allows me to meet. Documenting life is a special opportunity. Filmmakers are the healers of society. Every second they capture is a unique moment in human history. My purpose as a filmmaker is to show a more beautiful and nuanced side of this complex world.

Inspired By
Real Moments
Facial expressions, gestures, movement and emotions inspire me. I search for, and observe the tiny moments that make people unique.
Light and Texture
I get lost when light streams in my viewfinder, creating shadows and textures. I like to find those moments that seem to make time stop.
Perspective
Finding a new perspective of an "ordinary" moment inspires me. Whether a close-up or birds-eye view, I like to find new angles & viewpoints.
