Director and editor. I make films about people who almost say it, then cut them so you hear what they didn’t.

How I work

A call sheet for every project.

Every shoot gets one: who is called, when, where, and what could go wrong. This is mine, from the first cut to the last festival.

Notes

I direct and edit short films, music videos and the occasional campaign. Most of what I shoot, I also cut.

I look for the beat after the line. That is usually where the film is.

I work with small crews, long takes and a lot of patience in the edit.
