My video work ranges from one-man band productions where I script, shoot, track and edit entire packages by myself, to collaborative projects where I am often the director, DP, and/or editor. My mission is to produce visual stories that engage, inform and entertain. I have recently transitioned to the HD-DSLR workflow, and have started shooting almost exclusively with the Canon 5D Mark II. I invite you to explore some of my best work below.
