About Me     Assyrians

I am a Bay Area native and a graduate of San Francisco State University with a major in Film and a Minor in Spanish. I have been making films and videos since I was thirteen. My forerunner to filmmaking was drawing, along with learning to play the piano. I've always enjoyed the visual-auditory dynamic of moving imagery, rhythm and music, which comes from an innate interest in composition, motion and the love of  both telling and hearing good stories. I am currently writing both a feature length script and a YA fantasy novel, which I hope to publish in the near future.                                                       

My skills in Producing/Directing, Editing, Motion Graphics & Videography come from years of honing my craft, being resourceful when options were few and just having a whole lot of fun. I started with my parents old VHS camera...the one where you had to lug around the VCR while you shot. As a freshman in High School I graduated to a PC running Adobe Premiere 4.0 and over the years, through internships, various classes and self-initiative I learned After FX, Photoshop, Illustrator, Lightwave and more, allowing me to visualize what I had once only imagined.

I now work on a Power Mac & Mac Book Pro running Final Cut Studio 2, The Adobe Creative & Production Suite and work with DV, HDV & XDCAM HD, and occasionally on celluloid. I continue split my work between the San Francisco Bay Area and Europe. I have done projects in Los Angeles, New York, Oregon, Prague, Istanbul, Berlin and The Greek Isles.

...It is my belief that you will learn only that which you have a true passion for.
