FILM



“A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.” - Stanley Kubrick



To date, I have been Director, Cinematographer, Gaffer, AD, AC, Sound Mixer, Boom Operator, Script Supervisor, and Producer on various projects. However, my passion for filmmaking centers around the process of directing, as it allows me to use my creative talents and leadership skills to translate a shared team vision into a compelling cinematic experience. I am driven by the excitement of set and the adrenaline that comes with bringing a "coffee shop idea" to life. As a double major in Radio/Television/Film and Psychology, I have been able to dive into the numerous connections between the two fields of study, exploring how and why we feel, and our emotional responses to various creative and artistic stimuli. I currently work as an Assistant to an industry renowned AD while continuing to build my own film portfolio. Please take a look at some of my work below!
