Producer & storyteller based in SE Michigan.
Knowledge is a human need. Stories sustain our survival. They are celebrations of the ties that bind us all. Video is more than entertainment; it is a medium to express and demonstrate, and carries the capacity for transformative change. A better world can be shaped through narrative, light, and sound.

Netflix Breaks Hollywood: The Striker’s Story
It’s 2023, and everyone in media is striking. Many of those outside the industry can’t quite see what the big deal is. Aren’t you all living the dream? This microdoc breaks down exactly how the “startup-ification” of a young and hungry industry has rotted it from the inside. We look at how crew have been nickeled and dimed for a century, with healthy changes being brought through a noble history of collective bargaining. And, we see hope for the industry to change - for the better - because of this newest outcry.

On behest of Litepanels, this short set of scenes was inspired by the cinematography, lighting, and imagery of Jordan Peele. I created this little narrative piece for them so we could dissect in their interview with me (you can find it on their platforms), where I break down everything from lighting plots to the production process itself.

PUNK + ROCK | Iconic Images from Mona Simone

She watched the world of punk rock explode, and in this new noise she found her call to action—to pick up a camera, climb her tiny body through the Detroit crowds and onto the speaker systems, and capture some of the greatest music icons of a generation.
