Director / Producer
On the set of The Mountain with David Burtka and Carie Kawa.
On the other side of the camera, I write, produce, direct, and creatively consult on all kinds of projects. With my film-making partner, Will Mayo, I've written, produced, and directed award-winning short films and screened them in festivals the world over - quite proud of them.
I’m always working on something, and have a number of projects in development - theatre, short films, TV shows, documentaries, and feature films.
Let me know if you'd like my help with anything. I like to help! I'm good at it, and I like to keep busy.
Please enjoy the films below and thank you for watching!
