Summary

I've always been interested in film making and having things done to their highest quality. I grew up on movie sets in Los Angeles and around the world and with my film school experience as well as my experience starting my own production company I feel a profound connection to the medium. Despite my many other passions, History, science, psychology I don't think I live with out film making.
