About Me

bouki blues trailor
I worked in radio before discovering the art/craft of filmmaking. I discovered that there were similar tactile and time/space/ cadence sensibilities. As an on-air dj, I selected music and created segues from one song to another. I worked the midnight to 6am shift for a long time and received a call one early morning from a listener who was cutting a film in Marin County. He suggested that I should consider becoming an editor. He said it was the same process. I would often pre-record programs for later broadcast. I had to write a script for these programs. I created a syndicated radio program following Bob Marley's death...and looking back, it was about being a producer, director and editor. My career in radio ended and I eventually went back to school...initially to return to radio. I wanted to buy a station. While in school, I realized that radio was not an inevitability. I make docs now and enjoy making conceptual shorts that embody my poetry and yes, my radio voice.
