As a filmmaker I strive to tell stories that challenge and inspire viewers. As a director of photography I compose and light with the intent of developing a cinematic language that is true to the story.
My credits as director of photography include several feature documentaries including The U(ESPN’s 30 for 30 Series), Limelight (Tribeca Film Festival 2011), Square Grouper (SXSW 2011) and Spectrum of Hope (Sundance Now Doc Club 2016). Most recently I was the director of photography on a national television program “I am Frankie” produced by Viacom International. I have also been the director of photography on several music videos for Sony Music and Universal Music Group, and an array of commercial work.
My directorial debut, the feature documentary A Todo Color, premiered at The Sheffield International Documentary Festival 2016. One of the three largest festivals for a documentary filmmaker in the world. The film also participated in Hot Docs – Film and Music Series and won best documentary in XicanIndie Festival. My most recent short film, which I was also the director of photography and writer for, is scheduled to air on HBO in 2019.
