About me

Director and producer in Austin. Brands bring me a goal and I hand back the finished film. I scope it, crew it, direct it, cut it and deliver. An eight module course for celebrity hair colorist Renee Taglia, eight hours of finished runtime. A RISE Recovery mini doc the client used to win a $100,000 grant. The Xia-Gibbs family conference as a main film plus four social cuts, two released while the event was still running. Brand and commercial: producer on Mark Rober's Package Thief vs Glitter Bomb, 84 million views. Second unit director on Ancora Education's national campaign for Level Agency. Two branded docs for Chris Madrid's on an $11,000 budget with my own crew. Producer and shooter on MLS Home Town Heroes and Little Caesars Love Kitchen. Already worked a Tongal project: on-set editor, Sally Beauty DIY University. Three Sony FS7 packages, lighting, audio, live switching kit. Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas.
