The Storyteller
As an artist, I want to tell a story. With a camera, I am able to translate a message, capture an emotion, and explore stories and ideas that must be realized visually through moving images. Whether I am making a film or producing a video project for a client, I use my cinematic voice to not only tell a story but create a compelling experience. The camera and everything captured through it are my tools to effectively tell a story, promote a message, or create a memorable and meaningful experience for the viewer. Even as a writer, I want to create a visual experience that makes an impact on the reader through what they see and feel from the words on the page.
Storytelling isn't just a passion for me. It is something I am compelled to do. I have an urge to tell stories and express ideas visually through my own projects and projects for other people.
