CREATIVE SWISS ARMY KNIFE, AT YOUR SERVICE
I am an accomplished visual storyteller with more than twenty years making films and documentaries that ignite emotions and move people. I have written, directed, produced, edited and/or shot just about every type of visual media you can imagine, for clients ranging from Oscar-winning movie stars to small businesses, marquis production companies to universities and national non-profits. I'd love to help you ignite the emotions of your audience, moving them to act, so you can grow your cause or business.
My Work
MOVIES
Storytelling has always been the backbone of my work
I've worked in Hollywood for twenty years developing film projects for major stars like Billy Crystal, Adrien Brody, Amy Poehler, and Gabourey Sidibe, and for marquis companies like Samuel Goldwyn Films and Anchor Bay. My scripts have attracted millions of dollars in financing and spawned major motion pictures that have premiered at top film festivals including Sundance and SXSW. My films have been in theaters worldwide, and on television through premium channels like Showtime and Starz Network. My most recent film COME AS YOU ARE has a 95% Fresh rating on the review site Rotten Tomatoes.
DOCUMENTARIES
Life is the best storyteller of all
I've produced & directed two award-winning feature documentaries, and many more short docs, including an episode of Ashton Kutcher's original web series Subculture Club for Thrashlab and Katalyst Entertainment. Capable of working alone or with a full crew, my flexibility makes me a great choice for any budget level.
EDUCATIONAL
I've worked with K-12 as well as Junior Colleges and Universities to help them tell stories
I've produced and directed many educational documentary pieces including an eight-episode series about a novel teaching approach pioneered by Wildwood School in West Los Angeles centered on Systems Thinking. (see series here)
PROMO
I make films that help you grow your business and drive sales
Why should Hollywood A-Listers be the only ones to have professional storytellers write their best lines? I bring skills honed over twenty years as a Hollywood screenwriter to promote your small business. Pitching yourself can be awkward. Let me craft and film a succinct, powerful pitch for your business, that will drive sales and elevate your brand on your website and across social media.
EXPLAINER VIDEOS
Great for businesses that require a little explaination
Do you find yourself needing to explain what your product or service does over and over again? Maybe it's a technology or a service that's unique. Animated or live-action explainer videos are a great way to explain your business in a powerful, entertaining short film and then let the video do the heavy lifting. These fun, short videos can drive sales for years.
PRODUCT SPOTS
I get it, you need a 'banger' product spot for social media and you don't have a ton to spend. Done
You're trying to grow your social media profile, and you need some really sexy 'banger' videos to drive views and follows. I got you. I can make them for a fraction of the cost of a traditional agency or production company.
