Stories that move
people to act.
I make documentary films and brand stories for organizations doing work worth remembering — nonprofits, founders, and field teams in places most crews never reach.

What I do
Three ways I work with teams
Most engagements are one of these — and the best ones are two at once: a film that gets made and a team that can make the next one.
01
Documentary
Long-form and short-form films built on real access — months of relationship before a camera ever comes out of the case.
02
Brand storytelling
Founder stories, campaign films, and content systems that give teams a year of material from one honest week of shooting.
03
Speaking & training
Keynotes and hands-on workshops on story, ethical storytelling, and building a media team that outlasts one person.
Selected work
Recent projects

Speaking
On stage and in workshops
I speak about story as a discipline — how organizations find the true version of what they do, and how to tell it without spending someone else's dignity to do it.

The half that pays differently
I don't parachute in. Every partnership below started with at least one trip where I brought no camera at all — and most of them now run their own storytelling without me.
