April 2023
As a multifaceted creative, I wear multiple hats as a Director, writer, and Actor. My extensive background in acting grants me a unique understanding of the cast's journey and needs, allowing me to effortlessly connect with them and elicit exceptional performances.
My formal training in visual arts, specifically a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Sculpture, has instilled in me an appreciation for the unspoken language of images, space, and movement. This fusion of artistic perspectives enables me to bring a distinct visual flair to my work.
With over thirty years of experience in the industry, I have had the privilege of working on a diverse range of projects, from comedies to kids' shows, television commercials to dramas. My track record demonstrates my ability to consistently deliver high-quality content that captivates and entertains audiences.
As a director, I prioritize open communication and collaboration with my team, recognizing that each individual brings a unique perspective to the table. By fostering a positive and inclusive work environment, I am able to bring out the best in everyone involved and ensure that the final product exceeds expectations.
