About me

My long-term goal is to become a professional director and editor on feature films. I know this will take time and for now I want to work on set and edit all I can, and concurrently learn all I can about production and post-production. I have edited a feature film. This has been one of the more stimulating experiences of my life. I genuinely enjoy all of the creative problem solving that comes with editing. After editing dozens of my own films and peers’ films, and now having completed the editing of my first feature film, I know editing is for me. I have found that I perform best at tasks that require a mix of analytical and artistic approaches. This intersection of approaches has been crucial to editing that aforementioned feature film as well as directing short films. I have directed over a dozen short films and one of them was awarded best film that semester at the University of Colorado. For now I just want to assist on sets and/or work with post production departments and learn all I can.
