The
following "brief" description of experiences depicts
a path I chose to follow and am still following... to work
in as many departments of film production as possible.
Why? So when I direct and produce I know how my crew
feels, operates, what they need, and how they communicate.
I've been fortunate enough to learn from some of our industries
finest... the following are some of my "classrooms".
Any word in a different color and underlined will lead
you to that place so click away.

my visual expression. Otherwise, please feel free to
