Writer/Director

Twenty-six year old director/video producer who studied film and video at Columbia College Chicago.  I graduated with a Bachelor's Degree in Film/Video with a concentration in Directing.  During and since graduating I have had a vast amount of experience in every facet of production. I've produced, written, directed, edited, and shot for various projects (large budget and no budget).  I'm simply passionate about the arts and creating unique and interesting content.

When it comes to filmmaking I have a vast knowledge of what it takes to lead a set and keep the cast and crew on task.  I encourage and push the cast/crew to work as hard as they can to better the project, ultimately finishing the project to the best of all our abilities.
