Summary
Videographer experienced managing all stages of projects, from pre- to post-production. Talented planner with proven field execution and knowledge of video production. Advanced skills in directing, photography, and video editing. One of my biggest achievements this year was being selected out of many to be apart of the 2022 class of the Nate Parker Foundation film institute where I pitched the idea for my film "Remote". My pitch was chosen and I led as a producer and writer on the project.
