Crew Listing


Description

I am a Seattle-based filmmaker and recent Digital Cinema graduate from University of Hawaii at Manoa. Raised in Seattle, My background spans from directing, cinematography, and on-set crew roles, allowing me to collaborate fluidly across departments.

I have received several awards for my cinematography and DP works. I gravitate toward story-driven projects and artist collaborations, bringing a director’s perspective to both camera and crew positions.

As an emerging filmmaker, I am actively seeking opportunities to expand my directing portfolio while continuing to work as a collaborative crew member. I am particularly interested in narrative shorts, music videos, and independent productions that value intentional visuals and creative experimentation.


Special Skills & Experience

Cinematography & Camera Operation:
I am an award-winning cinematographer with experience operating digital cinema cameras on narrative and music video sets. I am comfortable operating camera, pulling focus, maintaining shot consistency, and collaborating with directors, operators, and ACs.

Lighting & Grip:
I have experience executing lighting setups for interiors and exteriors. I am comfortable working with LED, tungsten, and practical lighting, shaping light with modifiers, and collaborating with gaffers and grips on efficient, safe setups.
