My main desire is to equip students with essentials needed for film making. To inspire them to build upon their skills as well as to instill confidence that they too can have successful careers in the film industry. I'm a Self-motivated entrepreneur that thrives best when the stakes are high. Excels at creative problem solving and critical thinking skills. Always delivers projects on time with perfection as the standard. An award winning writer and director, producing engaging stories about the soul of the human condition. Having spent over a decade working in film and marketing for multimillion dollar studios to independents, knows what truly drives conversations, sold-out launches, and New York Times interviewsāand it's not mastering the marketing flavor of the week. It's how well you connect with the hearts of people you're trying to entertain. This approach has landed high honors and awards from around the world, including the New York Short Film Awards, Cannes Global Short Film Awards and The Houston International Film Festival to name a few.
