As a director and editor I conceive, execute, and deliver emotionally engaging short documentaries, promotional, and instructional videos for a diverse group of clients in the Philadelphia region including Women Against Abuse, ACLU PA, Temple University, The Trust for Public Land, JEVS Human Services, and the University of Pennsylvania. Roger Ebert referred to movies as “empathy machines”, and while I may not be producing big budget Hollywood movies, I often think of that concept and how it relates to my work. People are at the heart of all the organizations I work with and the videos I produce. Through thoughtful collaboration with clients and subjects we capture and share people’s experiences, struggles, triumphs, and passions. I create an opportunity for an audience to engage with another person’s experience for just a few a minutes and if that audience walks away with a deeper understanding of that person’s experience, then I have succeeded.
