Selected work
Films, edits, scripts and everything in between
Videos filmed and edited by me, along with photos and scripts. This is where I keep the work I'm making while I study TV and Film — some finished, some still in the cut.

[EDITING REEL]
Edits I've built from other people's footage: class projects, event coverage, and passion pieces. Pacing is where I like to live.

[PHOTOGRAPHY]
Stills from summers on the water and around Long Island. Practice for finding a frame before the camera ever rolls.
How I work
Write it. Shoot it. Cut it down.
I start with the story. Most of my ideas come from reading, games, and imagining scenes long before there's a camera anywhere near them. Once the idea holds up on paper, I figure out how to shoot it with whatever I actually have.
Editing is where it becomes real for me — trimming until only the moments that matter are left. I'm still learning, and that's the point: every project is a chance to get better at directing and writing.
