Experience & Success
I'm an American filmmaker from a sleepy, little town in New Hampshire. I first got my BA in Literature and Creative Writing at the University of Maryland, but after a stint teaching English in China I went back to school to get my masters in Filmmaking from the London Film School. While at school I won the Raindance 48 hour film competition and my graduation project went on to screen at prestigious festivals like Palm Springs and win best student film in my home state at the New Hampshire Film Festival.
After school I moved to LA and started to work as an assistant director, production designer, and location manager. I built up 5 years of set experience working on Feature Films and TV shows in this capacity, before deciding to make my own feature - The Rhapsodist (2023). Set in Athens and in Greek, this film played at both Greek and international festivals all over the world and won the Youth Jury Award at Thessaloniki International Film Festival. It's now available to watch on Amazon and Amazon Prime (depending on your location). While developing my next feature (The Pig Butcher) with Laika Productions in Athens, I've been directing Music Videos and Ads.
