Scriptwriting
Film, television, stage, YouTube, and short-form scripts built around character, structure, and a voice that sounds like you.
Directing
Clear creative leadership from rehearsal and blocking through performance, camera, and the final emotional beat.
Cinematography
Intentional framing, lighting, and camera movement designed to support the story—not distract from it.
Color Grading
Color correction and expressive grading in DaVinci Resolve to create consistency, atmosphere, and a finished look.
Acting
Screen and stage performance grounded in character intention, emotional specificity, and collaboration.
03 / PHOTOGRAPHY
Your real moments.
A cinematic finish.
You shouldn’t need a movie-sized budget to make an important moment look extraordinary.
I photograph and edit events of all kinds with a filmmaker’s eye—looking for expressive lighting, purposeful composition, genuine emotion, and the details that make the day yours. Every selected image is carefully edited to create a dramatic, polished look that feels closer to a film still than an ordinary snapshot.
Whether it’s a celebration, performance, community event, creative production, portrait session, or promotional shoot, I can shape the coverage around the occasion and deliver memorable images at an accessible cost.

06 / BEHIND THE CAMERA
A storyteller
across mediums.
I’m an independent filmmaker, writer, and multidisciplinary creative based in Pennsylvania. As Lead Script Writer for Midnight Canvas Productions, I’ve helped develop original plays, short films, web series, and narrative worlds from their first idea to production.
My work moves between the page, the stage, and the lens. That range lets me see the full production—not just one department—and build each choice around the story’s emotional center.
07 / CONTACT
Have a date in mind?
Let’s bring it into focus.
For photography, send the event date, location, type of shoot, and approximate coverage time. For film or writing, tell me what you’re making and where you need support.
