Who I Am

Pursuing deep focus.

Every good story has a beginning middle and an end - an inciting incident, a climax and a resolution. There have been many chapters in my story as a filmmaker. Sometimes I feel like I'm still in the prologue.

Film is collaborative. All of the work I've accomplished has been through the help of other talented craftsmen of light, texture, and story. This is a career of endurance. Filmmaking is art first and also necessarily commerce. The mind can build worlds full of infinite possibilities. The end of a story can also be the beginning of a new one.

01 — The Screenplay
Words are blueprints

The writing is to a finished film what the blueprints are to a finished building. Writing is my passion.

02 — PRODUCTION
From tangible to intangible

Fast, decisive, and always listening. I treat every frame as a shared decision between story and image.

03 — POST
Color as character

I stay close through the grade. The final image is where the emotional arc is completed.

VOICES

Mentors & inspiration

“It is really not a question of what we are to do with the machine, but rather what is the machine to do with us? For the machine is both a tool and a force – a tool in the hands of the artist, a force in the hands of the capitalist.”
Frank Lloyd Wright
The Art and Craft of the Machine, 1901
“I can't do a funny scene unless I believe it. But I can believe wholeheartedly almost any zany scene my writers dream up. No cool-headed realist can do this.”
Lucille Ball
Love, Lucy
“If you care about what you do and work hard at it, there isn't anything you can't do if you want to.”
Jim Henson
“I know it sounds insane, but everything in America is wrestling - you're performing for an audience that doesn't know it's watching a show.”
Bob Pagani
Thank You Very Much, 2023

“A house has to have a name.”

“The space within the building is the reality of that building.”

Frank Lloyd Wright
“No one really knows what's funny. We can be pretty sure - that's about as good as it gets.”
Jerry Seinfeld
2025
“When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.”
Hunter S. Thompson
