History And Approach

I’m a freelance filmmaker based in Los Angeles County with a passion for storytelling and helping others bring their ideas to life. My journey started in high school when I took a film class and learned how to do a simple crossfade in the editing software. It was such a small thing, but seeing that transition come together felt like magic—and it sparked something in me. Since then, I’ve been hooked. I went on to teach filmmaking to kids and teens, and now I work hands-on in the field, offering everything from crew-for-hire services to equipment rental and post-production.

My setup is compact but powerful—perfect for run-and-gun productions. I shoot with a Canon EOS M50 Mark II, use bi-color LED lights, a boom mic with recorder, and edit on Final Cut Pro or Premiere Pro from my MacBook Pro. Whether it’s a music video, promo, event, or short film, I bring a calm energy to set and shift into “let’s get it done” mode when it’s crunch time.

What Drives Me

I love both small and large productions—each offers a chance to learn, grow, and collaborate with passionate people. I especially enjoy working with those who have a story to tell but may not have the tools or crew to do it on their own. That’s where I come in.
Let’s create something meaningful—something worth remembering.
