Biography

I am an avid Scuba diver and traveler, within my means. More than anything, though, I love creating works for film and television. My writing has given me the opportunity to travel to various locations, and meet many fascinating people with whom I collaborate. Currently I am working with a former investigative journalist from the UK to develop a project about two of their most harrowing undercover exposes. Over the last 5 years 'The Real Thing,' my most successful short film, screened at 61 festivals, in 10 countries and won 9 awards, including Best Short from Outfest; Programmers Choice from Virginia; and both the Grand Jury and Audience Awards from James River. Between Youtube, Vimeo, Instagram and TikTok, the film has over 35 million views. As a passionate advocate, social impact stories flow through my easily and I'm currently producing the documentary 'Foster Thompson v. Staten Island.' The film, in production now, details a black man’s struggle for a fair trial against the backdrop of a democratic DA’s re-election campaign in conservative Staten Island, NY. My short script, 'Conscience,' stems from an interview with a doctor that I tracked down who was forced, at gunpoint, to harvest organs from a living civilian. That project is related to the larger project I'm working on with the man in the UK.
