FILM PORTFOLIO
GET TO KNOW ME
Personal Profile
Films are magical — they have the power to transport and immerse our minds into another time and place. As a creative individual, this is something that has attracted me to pursue a career in the film industry.
During my stay at Sheridan's BFTV program I've grown to love lighting in film and have devoted myself to the Grip & Electric team anytime the chance has arisen. In turn I strive to create beautiful visual atmospheres in every film I help produce but if I'm not lighting a scene you can likely find me behind the camera instead.
I’ve had the chance to work on several projects as Gaffer and I plan to pursue that path, but I am always looking for new opportunities to expand my experience and develop my skillset. Get in touch for additional information about my past work.
“If it's a good movie, the sound could go off and the audience would still have a pretty clear idea of what was going on.”
