I'm a filmmaker with a passion for blending storytelling and technology. Most recently I was the writer, director, DP and VP supervisor of my own short film "The Device" which won "Best Short Cinematography" award at the 2024 LA Cinematography Film Festival and extensively used LED wall virtual production for many of the scenes.
From 2020 to 2024, I was the facility VP Supervisor at SV Studios, an LED studio in Glendale, Los Angeles. During my time there I advised over a hundred different DP's and their teams on over 220+ LED shoot days. These DP's included Bob Yeoman, ASC. Jonny Simmons ASC, Steve Gainer ASC, Trent Opaloch, Larkin Seiple, Chris Ripley, Alissa Rooney, Doug Emmett, Dan Kanes—the list could go on. And each of those times I’ve been fortunate enough to watch each of them work on the LED stage, each with different methods, each time teaching me something new. In February of 2023, I led a full upgrade of the entire LED wall and media server system, re-designing the system from the ground up with the highest end cinema tools available.
You might not find a ton of people that know LED processors, Unreal Engine nDisplay workflows but also read screenplays and filmmaking books in their free time—Chris Voglers "The Writers Journey", Stella Adler's "The Art of Acting", Sidney Lumet's "Making Movies"... that person is me.
I’m ready to be a translator of these two worlds for you. I have extensive VP technical experience and a deep love for story and ready to help.
