About me
I am an Assistant Director, writer, director, producer, set-coordinator, and UPM. I have over thirteen years of experience writing, directing and in production I have several credits including sketches, short films, a music video and a feature film to my name. My films have been through the festival circuit. I have also produced and shot corporate events.I began my film career on major Hollywood film sets which included Assistant Directing and Set-Coordinating. I then used the talents I developed there to help bring high production value to independent films.
I recently produced and assistant directed two feature films, Rapid Eye Movement and 2030, ($1M budget) a mockumentary-style film. I also assistant directed the foreign film, Half Girlfriend (approx. $10M budget).
I am also a part of Red Leaf Films (www.redleaffilm.com), a full-service production company that has produced, directed, and edited several commercials for such companies a Porsche, Ferrari, Burger King, Doritos, 21st Century Fox, Hyundai, and more. We have made music videos for such artists as Teyana Taylor, the DJ Steve Powers, Jah Banks, Jordyn Jones, and more.
I believe that my skills and experience would make me and ideal choice. Using my skills not only as an AD but also as a writer and director, I will share my creativity in running an efficient and productive team.
I know am familiar with all the production and scheduling software and create accurate, and comprehensive schedules as well as individual department breakdowns, saving time and money.
I am adroit at assembling a skilled crew, working with my contacts at production houses and collaborating with clients' needs; I am able to use my experience from major Hollywood films to anticipate needs and solve problems before they arise.
