ART LETS ME CREATE IT::
I'm a filmmaker and creative director with 15+ years of experience spearheading large-scale creative projects. My work invokes a more expansive sense of possibility through its flirtation with the sublime, the serendipitous, and the surreal, addressing themes such as queer ecology, cognitive liberty, and intimate justice. At its best, my art is epistemologically promiscuous, spiritually ergonomic, and sensually alive. In less pretentious terms: it enchants the senses, tickles the intellect, and speaks to the soul.
In more professional terms: I was a Drama League Director's Fellow, a creative consultant for the producers of Sleep No More, Project Coordinator at the Foundation for Contemporary Art in Accra, Ghana, and Program Director at Arte Hacía la Vida in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where I lived and worked as a theater director for several years while living in a vintage VW van I renovated. Though prone to creating on the fringes, I'm no I studied directing at Yale, painting at Rhode Island School of Design, and Immersive Storytelling & Film at California Institute of the Arts. I also have certificates in screenwriting and directing from Sundance and have worked at Berkeley Rep, A.C.T., Yale Rep, the Hangar Theater, and Teatro la Tertulia.
My short films have toured the festival circuit, winning awards for Outstanding Directorial Style (Brooklyn Film Festival) and Best Comedic Short (Woods Hole Film Festival) and screening at Soho Int'l Film Festival, Nevada City Film Festival, Big Apple Film Festival, Anchorage Film Festival, and Breckenridge Film Festival, all of which are included on MovieMagazine's top 50 Film Festivals Worldwide. I also work with brands to create content that captivates and inspires.
Curiosity is my cartographer, humor is my guru, mystery is my muse.
