Director

I have directed for theatre aswell as on screen, most of these experiences were as an assistant role. I have worked in Los Angelos with MTV films on various productions including a feature length documentary, but more notably with Spike Lee on the post production of Miracle at St Anna. I plan to study Directing at NYU in 2010 to build my technical skills in Film making and at the moment enjoy making short films.
