Some say film/cinema/movies/motion pictures/flicks were a 20th century art form and we’re now in the 21st. They said the same when television was invented, and the same about painting when photography was invented, and human creativity in general now that AI is here.

But what about horses and carriages, telegraphs and faxes, stone knives and bear skins? Many things will pass as technologies fall by the wayside. But art will not. It’s too much a part of us and what we strive for. It will certainly change and transform, as film – and a great part of our lives – has all gone digital. It’s our need for expression, emotion, and engagement that will persist. Movies do that like nothing else.

I’m a filmmaker. I was born in Frankfurt, Germany and grew up in Japan and New Jersey. I went to NYU for film and television and Parsons for graphic design. I’ve worked at big corporations like Sony and Comcast, where I learned all about digital media, the broadcast and cable industries, commercial video production, plus a bunch of business things like project management, marketing, and customer service. I’ve worked at small boutique production shops where I learned visual effects, motion graphics, team pipelines and workflow strategies.

I was a finalist in the Final Draft Screenplay Competition, the BlueCat Screenplay and Cinestory Script competitions, for my feature script "The Wizard Joe". I was in the final 20 in the year the Nicholl Fellowship had to do an additional runoff because the submissions were so strong that year.

My home is in the San Francisco Bay Area and my work is wherever and with whomever I collaborate on making movies. Reach out. Tell me your story.
