About

I’m an Emmy-nominated and Rocky Award-winning director, writer, and editor who is passionate about empowering new voices and wading into uncomfortable conversations and areas of society that can’t be defined in binary. 

 From Mad-Maxian personalities on Vegas Rat Rods to capturing intimate stories of drug addiction on Intervention or Hoarders for A&E, I've cultivated a reputation as a gritty storyteller on the hunt for innovative frames that bring a unique view to our world and its colourful characters. After nabbing an Emmy nomination for working in kids' TV (sadly, I lost to a preposterously large, talking yellow bird), I shot my first indie feature film, Sideboob. The movie was a dramatic comedy about toxic masculinity set against Toronto’s Burning Man dance scene that was recognized internationally with Best Feature Awards at festivals like the Boomtown Film Festival. I went on to direct, edit and co-write the thriller web series Damaged, which won numerous international awards, Best Interactive Series at the 2019 Rockie Awards, and a Canadian Cinema Editors award nomination in 2020. In the summer of 2021, I directed on seasons 1 & 2 of VICE TV's Dark Side of the 90s, and am slated to begin shooting the third season in early 2023.

 I recently wrote and directed an elevated horror short film entitled Blood Line.  The film is executive produced by Vincenzo Natali and is currently being submitted to the 2023 festival circuit.

 Beyond the camera, I co-founded Planet Fabulon, an immersive, out-of-this-world, performance-art series in Toronto. The art series is fueled by my passion for cultivating positive vibes, unique visuals, and fabulous dance floors. Combining film, dance, and theatre with projections, I co-wrote and co-directed Planet Fabulon’s most recent project: a sold-out, immersive theatrical show called The Ruins of Zindor, which premiered at the Luminato Arts Festival in October 2021.
