Guided by place, memory, and the details of the everyday, I document and archive what’s fleeting – a conversation, a face, a location, a feeling. My work moves between filmmaking, research, and strategy: making films, scouting locations, casting real people, and building tools that help stories take shape.
WORK WITH ME
I am available for freelance video production. Get in touch if you would like to work together.
