Entertainment - Santa Monica, California, United States
I'm a creative producer and director of engaging, impactful films with expertise in documentary, sports, and human interest. Skilled in all aspects of the creative process from ideation to production, with a track record of measurable success in expanding brand influence and attracting audiences worldwide.I currently work at an award-winning consumer goods company, starting as a junior producer, and accepting a promotion within a year to integrated producer. I now manage video projects for commercial campaigns with budgets up to $6 million for global brands and serve as in-house director for all corporate video content.In addition to commercials, I'm passionate about sports and human interest—capturing moments of victory, defeat, and everything in between. My documentary, "The Soccermen," focuses on how I coached the tiny Pacific island of Pohnpei to their first ever victory in soccer, and one of my boxing documentaries became an Official Selection at several notable film festivals. Is there an underdog about to rise? Is there a small group taking action somewhere that's starting to change the world? I want to be the filmmaker who maps their arrival!Credentials include: MFA from USC Peter Stark graduate film program, another M.A. from Edinburgh University, a strong network including A-list celebrities, top-quality production and post vendors, and fluency in Spanish, French, and Italian. My language skills are a lifesaver—especially in L.A., being able to direct and interview in multiple languages is becoming more of a necessity than ever.My most recent films include documentaries about health, wellness, disease, education, farming, agriculture, and migrant communities. I love long-form, working on meaningful content, and I believe in capturing stories as opposed to manufacturing them. Add a little inspiration and emotional investment, and I'm living the dream. 😊
