It all started in my kitchen with wine. Ann Truong asked me if I wanted to produce a short film that she wrote and wanted to direct. I said sure. 3 months later, numerous favors and hugs later, we submitted our first short to festivals. 2 months after that our short premiered at the California Women's Film Festival.
Teaser and Full Short for your viewing pleasure.

I met this incredibly talented artist and just knew that I wanted to collaborate with her one day. So Ann Truong and I gave her a call, asked her if she had any interest in making a music video with us, found a free weekend that worked for all of us (that happened to be less than one month away) and went for it.
We hopped on a plane to Nashville, TN, stayed with some friends, spray painted props, got caught in some rain, and had a blast!

Too many Americans live further than 3 miles away from healthy food. We organized a 3 mile march in Washington DC with Ron Finley to bring awareness and encourage Americans to grow their own food.
Winning a Bronze Cannes Lion was just a side benefit to making a little difference in the world.
While in Tulsa, Oklahoma filming Kia's 2020 Big Game spot, one of our teams ventured off and spent some time with Josh Jacobs, his father, and other close family friends, to capture the story of Josh's childhood.
I was honored to be put on this project when they came back to LA produce this raw, emotional, and beautiful story about Josh Jacobs. Someone I had never heard of before, but whose's career I will now forever follow.

This is a mini-documentary series that I am extremely proud of. It was a brand new campaign for Windstream, with a very small budget. But with an incredible team, we travelled across America and found 8 interesting small business owners that were willing to let us into their lives for 2 days to share their stories. We finished the year with 9 incredible videos and a very happy client. This project allowed me to be very hands-on and truly learn about all aspects of production.

From San Francisco to Brooklyn, and with just 2 days to meet and film each small business owner, we documented 6 small businesses and shared each of their stories. Here’s one of my favorites.
