I make documentary and communications video from start to finish: plan it, write it, light it, shoot it, mic it, cut it, deliver it.

About

Since May 2026 I have produced Puget Sound Fire's video content, on contract through Forged Advisory: 16 social videos and 9 YouTube films so far. In the first 90 days of posting, their Instagram drew 1 million views and one reel passed 250,000.

Alongside that I make documentary films for law firms and medical practices, shoot campaign advertising, and work as a camera operator on Microsoft customer stories in more than ten countries. I started in 2021 as a Digital Fellow for the Open Society University Network in Berlin, documenting how theaters worked through the pandemic.

Most of what I make is documentary: real people, not actors, telling their own story on camera. I often work as a one-person crew, responsible for every part of a production from the first conversation to final delivery.
