About
For the last decade I've been chasing stories that move the world. Human stories, nature, invention, art. Great stories that deserve boundary-breaking cinema. The chase has taken me through Hans Zimmer's studio, Oscar-qualifying film festivals, pieces for streamers and international networks, and some of the world's most ambitious brands. Eventually it led me to the United Nations.
The work includes an eight-film documentary series for UN DOALOS that helped carry the BBNJ ocean treaty into global law, my current role promoting the World Ocean Assessment, and my own series Impossible Cleanups, extreme engineering at the ends of the earth.
Based in Los Angeles. Represented by Authentic Talent and Literary Management.
If you're working on the defining issues of our time, I'd love to hear from you.
