Listening first. creating second.
Story driven films that move people - not just impress them.
About Me
My goal isn’t to make films that just look good— my #1 mission is to make films that mean something.
I believe that the most powerful stories come from a place of real connection. That’s why I focus on story-driven films that don’t just check a box—they resonate. My goal is simple: to help mission-driven organizations share stories that feel authentic, move people emotionally, and create lasting impact.
How I Work
Before I ever pick up a camera, I begin with something most filmmakers overlook—Storyfinding.
Storyfinding is a deeply intentional process of discovery that lays the foundation for every film I create. It means taking the time to listen, explore, and understand. I connect with the people in your world—your team, your clients, your community—to uncover the essence of your story.
There are two main things I focus on during this process:
Understanding your story space—I want to know the context, the challenges, and the emotional dynamics that shape your world.
Finding the right characters—Because a story is only as strong as the people in it, I search for those unique, passionate individuals who can carry your message in a way that feels real and powerful.
I don’t move forward until I’ve found the voices that will truly bring your story to life.
Why It Matters
Storyfinding leads to more than just a strong film—it leads to trust, clarity, and impact. It means we’re not guessing. We’re building something meaningful from the ground up.
So if you're looking for more than just another corporate video—if you want a story that truly reflects who you are and what you care about—I'd love to talk.
