About Me

I studied Cinema at San Francisco State University. I've been lucky to make a few films and pick up a couple of awards. I've worked with scores of youth from Oakland to San Francisco and produced hundreds of short films. In addition to editing, collaborating and making my own films, I curate films for festivals/galleries.
Recently, I started a documentary in Jamaica. Originally, the trip had started out as a short vacation; however, it ended up being extended a little over a month. I am currently editing it with one of my students from the San Quentin Prison.
I just finished facilitating an intensive seven week film course with 9 incarcerated men at San Quentin State Prison. Aside from learning the foundation of filmmaking and completing various exercises, each filmmaker, for their final project, made an amazing six minute short film.
