With over 18 years of experience, I have honed my skills in accurate storytelling and visual excellence, resulting in numerous award-winning films. I am proud to have written, directed, produced, and edited the feature film Final Minute, a gripping police thriller entirely filmed with drones. You can catch it on Amazon Prime Video.
Currently, I am based in Los Angeles, California, where I am working on an exciting new sci-fi movie and marketing pieces for major studios.
