Why hire this guy?

Let’s be honest, you’re not on this page for my life story. Sure, it’s good to know I’ve been in this business for over two decades, have lived as a creative for over three! Yes I’ve won awards and hobnobbed with the elites in many industries. But I’m willing to bet what you really want to know is why should I hire this guy 👆🏼 to own my production?

And that’s a good question. I think I can help you answer that.

Here's five reasons why.

1. Care – Whether you’re a global brand, a nonprofit creative director, or a studio executive, I approach every partnership with genuine care and attention. I’m committed to supporting you both creatively and logistically, ensuring that our mutual trust shines through every step of the production process.

2. Confidence – I’ve been a creative all my life and in that time I’ve had many successes and some failures. And through both the ups and downs I’ve learned two things that help all but guarantee a successful project: Understand your fallible nature and surround yourself with talented leaders! Because I do this consistently, I bring confidence, expertise and real-world experience to every project I produce.

3. Creative Solutions – I believe that while creativity might be 10% of a project, execution is the remaining 90%. For every creative idea, there’s a mountain of planning and problem-solving behind it. My team and I focus on nailing pre-production, ensuring that we’re ready with bold, innovative solutions before the cameras start rolling.

4. Flexibility – Experience has taught me that flexibility is key in this industry—things rarely go exactly as planned. As an independent producer, I have a vast network of resources to draw from, allowing me to pivot quickly and effectively whenever challenges arise.

... and last but not least

5. Invested – I’m truly invested in bringing your vision to life. My goal is to execute our combined creative ideas with quality, innovation, and a fearless approach. We’re collaborators in this journey, and your success is a reflection of our shared commitment to creating something extraordinary. Let’s work together to make something unforgettable!

The Process

If you’ve made it down this far then keep going and read about my approach to the motion picture process. Obviously, not every project has the same approach; I wouldn’t go about tackling a VR project the same way I would get a feature film off the ground. However, there are similar processes that each project has and given the type of project, each process can alter tasks and timeframes.

Concept and Visualization
This is where we get into the heart of your project. We chat about the original idea and nail down the “why” behind it all. What are we trying to achieve, and how do you picture the final product? Once we have that, we start sketching out some visuals to bring your ideas to life.
Not every project needs a full-blown script, but every video has visuals that need to be mapped out. If it makes sense for your project, we create a storyboard to outline key shots and moments. And if there’s a script involved, we fine-tune it alongside the storyboard to make sure everything works together creatively and intentionally.

Ah, budgets—the infamous “B” word. Surprisingly, I actually enjoy this part. It’s not about being strict; it’s about understanding what’s possible and planning wisely. I’ll walk you through the budgeting process with complete transparency, so we know exactly how to make the most of the funds available.
Now that we know what we’re aiming for and what resources we have, it’s time to find the right people and places to bring the vision to life. I work closely with casting directors, talent agencies, and location scouts to ensure that the talent and settings perfectly match your project’s vibe.

With our ideas, cast, and locations locked in, we set up a shooting schedule. This timeline guides us through production—and often post-production—so everyone’s on the same page and we stay on track.
This is where all the planning really pays off. During production, everything operates and comes together like a well-oiled machine. And yes, things will sometimes change—but with solid pre-production in place, we’re able to pivot quickly and efficiently. Whether we’re filming a two-camera interview with a sports icon, a VR studio production, or shooting on location in Italy (yes, please!), our goal is to get it right in camera—“fix it in post” isn’t our style!
Rough Edit
First up, our editor gathers all the footage and organizes it according to our shooting notes, script, and visual timeline. This rough cut gives us a first look at the project’s shape, and it might take anywhere from a few hours to a few weeks, depending on the scope.
If your project calls for special effects or motion graphics, this is where we start building them. Whether it’s tweaking green screen footage, designing lower thirds and title cards, simulating explosions or sparks, or even creating 3D elements, we prepare everything for the next step.
Sound is a huge part of the overall experience. Sometimes it’s as simple as cleaning up background noise, and other times it’s about creating a full-blown soundscape for, say, a space battle scene. With sound design, every little detail counts — thats why theres an Oscar category for it; it’s that important!
Once all the visual and sound elements are in place, we lock the edit. This means the timing, flow, and scene lengths are set, and any additional elements are just added on to enhance the final look of your project.
If your project needs a voice-over or some Automated Dialogue Replacement (ADR), we usually handle that after the edit is locked. This way, we avoid any last-minute changes and ensure everything fits perfectly.
Now we polish the project. During color grading, we fine-tune the visuals to achieve the exact look you’re going for—whether that’s a vibrant, matte finish or a high-contrast, gritty style. At the same time, an audio engineer works on mixing all the sound elements, whether it’s a simple stereo mix or a full 7.1 Dolby Atmos surround sound setup, so everything sounds just right.

Finally, we wrap everything up. Deliverables can vary widely depending on the project. Whether you need to ensure that you have the highest quality for YouTube streaming or need to process a Copyright Report for your film to file with the distributor, I have the experience to make sure it get’s done!
