ABOUT
I cut my teeth 1st ADing over 100 commercials, feature films, & music videos, giving me a grounded view of problem solving. I’ve come to understand telling music stories and defining an artists current “era” is more powerful than polished performances that aren’t specific. So I bring their purpose to playful camera moves & chaotic compositions.
Directing pushes me to find what’s most compelling to me about a story and become the greatest advocate for a character or musician. The more out-of-my-element I am, the more this discovery means to me.
If I’m directing a commercial for Young Thug & Lyft or its an episode of Barbie children’s programming, I grab viewer’s attention immediately and don’t let go until I’ve taken them somewhere new. Believe it or not, certain stylistic signatures remain consistent across vastly different directing endeavors & forms- it’s something that feels uniquely right now.
I’m currently developing larger narrative worlds that spotlight real-life anecdotes from the musicians I’ve befriended over the last decade.
