Filmmaker · Creative Technologist.
Human connection first, everything else follows.
For 25 years, my work has placed me alongside visionaries like Julie Dash and Dr. Dre, and world-class brands from Vogue to Coca-Cola. From my experience in the Hollywood film industry, I've learned that technology evolves, but the essence of storytelling remains unchanged: listening, finding the essential truth, and forging a genuine human connection.
That is why I partner with visionary organizations today. I show the world why your work matters.
My films are not passive content. They are meticulously constructed cinematic experiences that honor the importance of your vision and demand a closer look.
Art Unplugged in the Age of AI
In this 17-minute documentary, I explore how AI is evolving into another tool in the artist's toolkit—challenging, inspiring, and transforming the creative landscape. Beyond the algorithms, the film highlights the irreplaceable human element: the heart, feeling, and lived experience that artists infuse into their work. It examines how artists bring their unique perspectives and emotions—qualities AI cannot replicate—to the creative process, even when collaborating with technology.

My Process
Your journey unfolds through intentional phases designed to transform vision into impact.
Listen → It all begins with listening. I start by understanding not just your goals, but the passion and importance at the very heart of your work.
Architect → With that understanding, I design a cinematic approach—a blueprint for a film that will tell your essential story in a powerful and compelling way.
Craft → Here, the vision takes form. With meticulous attention to detail, I direct and shape every element of the film, from the visual language to the emotional pacing.
Refine → We polish each detail until the experience achieves its full potential and resonates with clarity and power.
Connect → The final film is delivered, ready to connect with your audience and create a meaningful, lasting impression.

XRVRS
I founded XRVRS.IO to explore the fertile terrain where human consciousness meets technological possibility. This ongoing investigation examines how emerging tools reshape narrative, learning, and connection while preserving what makes us essentially human. As we forge new paths in narrative experience, XRVRS serves as both laboratory and showcase for the new forms of expression being born. I invite you to visit XRVRS.IO to experience these explorations firsthand.
