About Me

I moved out to the West Coast in order to pursue my acting goal. I decided to to back to school after becoming disenchanted with the quality of the roles and types of film available. Why bitch about it? Do something about it. So I got behind the lens. I'm am currently in post-production of my own film. I like working on films with a social conscientiousness (damn, no spell check?) but not of the "in your face" or "preachy" variety. Action, creativity, and intelligent humor - that's my thing.If you're a production person with any thoughts of collaborating with a motivated director and editor, hit me up. Producers and writers of indie films, music videos, or documentaries, holla. If you're an actor who wants to get a reel put together, drop me a line. Upstart composers - I'm looking for you.******************************************************** ***************** Poster from my film REDEMPTION LOST featuring Michelle C. Lee and J.
