Emmy-Winning Producer | Cinematic Video Production | AI + Live Action

I’m an Emmy-winning producer and member of the Producers Guild of America’s Producers Council since 2008, with 25+ years of professional experience in the entertainment industry spanning television, motion pictures, documentary, branded, marketing, and digital content for major broadcast and cable networks, streaming platforms, and leading digital and social media outlets. Throughout my career, I’ve developed, produced, directed, and shaped content designed to entertain audiences, sell ideas, build brands, and keep viewers engaged. Today, I bring that same experience to cinematic video production across both traditional and AI-powered workflows. My AI filmmaking expertise is further supported by professional training and certification through Curious Refuge, a pioneer in AI filmmaking education. I combine cutting-edge AI image, video, and voice technologies with decades of real-world production experience, allowing me to create ambitious cinematic work efficiently without sacrificing storytelling, performance, pacing, or visual continuity. Whether you come to me with a finished script, a treatment, a creative brief, a product or brand that needs a story, or simply a goal you’re trying to achieve, I can help develop the creative approach from the ground up, shape the messaging and marketing strategy, and take the project through the entire creative and production process. My work includes cinematic brand films, commercials, trailers, television sizzle reels, pitch pieces, narrative films, social campaigns, and other story-driven marketing content. I approach each project with both a storytelling and marketing mindset, considering not only how the piece should look and feel, but what it needs to communicate, who it needs to reach, and what action or response it is ultimately designed to generate. What sets me apart is that I approach every project as an experienced storyteller and producer first. The technology is a tool. Whether a project calls for traditional production, AI, existing footage, or a combination of all three, I focus on finding the best way to bring the idea to life. From there, I can handle creative development, producing, directing, scripting, AI image and video generation, character consistency, editing, voiceover, graphics, music, sound design, and final finishing. I also believe strongly in giving every client and project personal, hands-on attention. You’ll work directly with me throughout the creative process, from our first conversation through final delivery. I’m personally involved in every creative decision and every stage of production, with a high standard for detail, consistency, and polish. I don’t believe in simply generating content and calling it finished. I refine, edit, and finish each piece until it feels cohesive, intentional, and professionally produced. My goal is simple: create polished, cinematic work that engages an audience, communicates clearly, and ultimately accomplishes what it was created to do, whether that means selling an idea, building a brand, generating excitement, or simply telling a great story.
