FILMMAKER:    Director  |  Producer  |  Editor  |  Camera  |  Sound

Working in television at MTV Networks by day while DJing in downtown New York clubs by night, it was music that sparked my interest in filmmaking when I began to follow London’s burgeoning Grime scene, a musical movement created by kids in the city’s public housing complexes. Inspired to capture Grime’s stories on camera I relocated to London in 2006. There I documented Grime artists and created content for MTV UK.

 

Since returning to New York in 2010, I've directed, produced, shot and edited a wide range of documentary content for outlets such as Salsoul Records, International Center of Photography, Meta and PBS. From 2016-18, I worked as a producer/editor at S&P Global. From 2018 to 2019, I served as Senior Multimedia Producer for Okayplayer and OkayAfrica. 

 

In 2020, I started Sunset People, a production house that tells stories about music, art and culture. I am currently  producing and directing the fine art doc series James Cohan Features. I'm also directing The Sound of Toys, a documentary film about Casio keyboards coproduced by Saboteur Media and Resurgent Pictures.

​

Since 2021, I've produced and edited short documentaries for The Criterion Channel.
