Traditional and Generative Filmmaking.

Twenty-five years behind broadcast cameras — commercial, documentary, and now AI-enhanced film work, all shot with the same eye for consequence and emotion.

Two ways into a frame.

Shot on location, or built from a prompt — both end up cut into the same reel, held to the same standard.

Traditional

Documentary, commercial, and broadcast — shot on location, lit and cut by hand.

REEL 01

Generative

AI-assisted and AI-built film — the camera is a prompt, the edit bay is a model.

REEL 02

What I book.

Local, regional, and remote — from a single sit-down interview to a full broadcast production. No weddings.

Commercial & Brand Film

Ads, product films, and brand stories built for broadcast or social — scripted, shot, and cut end to end.

Project-based

Documentary

Long-form, character-driven films — the kind of work that needs time, trust, and a real point of view.

Project-based

Broadcast & Event Coverage

Multi-cam production for corporate events, broadcast segments, and community coverage across the Tri-State — no weddings.

Day rate

Generative Film

AI-built video for concepts that don't need a camera — previz, experimental pieces, and AI-native content.

Project-based

Twenty-five years in, still chasing the frame that matters.

I've spent a career in broadcast television, building a reputation for stories with consequence, sensory immersion, and emotional momentum — not just coverage, but films people feel.

This is the personal, local side of that work, and where new tools like generative video get tested before they reach a client.
