Writing Portfolio
My whole philosophy on the work I do is story first. Everything must have a purpose that serves the greater story. Be it a client conducting an interview for their business, or picking the next shot in a scene, it all adds up to one large story.
​
These are some of the stories I tell. Some have been fully produced into short films, others have yet to be told in a visual way, and some are not for me to direct, but for others to tell in their own way.
