DOCUMENTARIES
At the core of my filmmaking is my love for people: people who are like me, people who I disagree with, people who are unorthodox, people who have flourished, and people who have made mistakes. The human experience inspires my art. Through my documentaries, I aim to connect viewers with the emotions and stories of my subjects, inviting them to see the humanity we all share.
MUSic videos and live shows
I infuse a fresh and unique perspective into the world of music videos by harnessing my creative editing skills, self-made effects, unconventional locations, and dynamic camera work. This distinctive approach resonates directly with the tastes of my generation. Music isn't just a backdrop in my filmmaking journey; it's a guiding force that influences every frame and edit, making it an integral part of my creative process.

Giving back through film
I'm deeply committed to using my skills to make a positive impact on the world. I actively seek out opportunities to collaborate with non-profit organizations, offering my services pro bono. I've had the privilege of creating impactful videos that shed light on critical social issues, raise awareness, and mobilize support for their causes. It's a rewarding to see how my films inspire change and contribute to meaningful initiatives. My dedication to volunteering through film underscores my belief in the transformative potential of visual storytelling. It's a way for me to not only express my creativity but also to make a tangible difference in the world, one frame at a time. I'm proud to be a filmmaker who uses my craft to amplify the voices of those who are working tirelessly to create a better future for all.
Amplifying Voices and Inspiring Change on TikTok through “Frames”
Beyond traditional filmmaking, I've leveraged the power of social media, particularly TikTok, to extend the reach of my content and engage with a broader audience. With over 68 million views, 150 thousand followers, and 11 million likes, my TikTok platform has become a dynamic space for sharing glimpses of my interviews and documentaries.
On TikTok, I present my content as captivating slideshows, with each frame encapsulating a key moment from the interviews, accompanied by dialogue captions. What's truly incredible is the impact this format has had. The discussions unfolding in the comments section are nothing short of profound.
It's heartwarming to witness individuals in the comments who have been inspired to make life-altering decisions after watching my film work. Some have shared their journeys towards sobriety, while others have reflected on the cycle of gang violence. These experiences highlight the transformative power of storytelling and the potential of social media platforms to spark meaningful change.
