Personal Description

I've been working in video and film production in various roles for over ten years. At heart, I'm a storyteller - whether it's a commercial, a music video or a feature length narrative, I love telling stories. I've written and directed a number of short films, music videos and commercials. My most recent project is a feature film I co-wrote, directed and edited called "20 Years After."

I've been fortunate enough to work with some very talented people, and as a result I've learned quite a bit. Film and video production is a collaborative art form - as a freelance editor I love working with other storytellers and helping them bring their vision to life.

Special Skills

I've sat in both seats in the editing suite: the editor's chair and the director's chair. I know the importance of story, timing and deadlines.

I've got my own gear: a MacPro Workstation with FCP Studio 2 and a KONA LHe card for studio work, and a MacBook Pro for location work.

I've successfully held virtual edit session with clients using a combination of Skype and iChat.

I'm skilled in FCP, Motion, Color, Photoshop and After Effects.
