About me
I am an award-winning filmmaker, editor, and colorist with a focus on creating high-quality short documentaries and brand films. My portfolio also includes movie trailers, teasers, commercials, travel videos, and more. My work has been featured on broadcast, cinema, and the web, and I have collaborated with reputable clients such as Lenovo, Mosaicoon, Pond5, Impact Hub, Dokout, Saint Gobain, and Seminal Film. I am also experienced in remote post-production, utilizing platforms such as Frame.io, Mega, and Slack for both revisions and communication. If you have a job or gig offer for me, please don't hesitate to reach out.
