About
A quiet obsession with getting it right.
I've spent 15+ years managing complex media workflows, directing narrative and documentary work, and shepherding projects from first outline to final deliverable. I care about structure, coherence, and the small details other people overlook — the frame that lingers a beat too long, the line that should have been cut, the pacing that finally lets a scene breathe.
