Really Experienced.
I've been a producer, freelancer, and educator specializing in nonfiction media for 20+ years. I teach video production courses as a Visiting Lecturer at the University of Pittsburgh, and make films for clients, with other artists, and on my own.
Really Good.
As a teacher, I attempt to convey hard concepts clearly,
and bring the joy of creativity into the classroom.
The same goes for production, with good results:
a Student Emmy out of grad school and numerous
other awards and screenings on TV and in festivals.
Really Simple.
Let's not mystify things: documentaries are entertainment.
They simply draw from real life instead of imagination.
My trust is in the vitality of real people, real places, and
actual stories as the stuff of an engaging film.
