I’m a filmmaker interested in changing the world, one ticket stub at a time.

I obtained my Ph.D. in film in 2007 and am excited about creating work to move audiences to action.

I’ve directed four feature-length films on critical social issues and am committed to working on projects that can make an immediate impact in the way people think about problems we face as a country and as a world- and, most importantly, what we can do about them.
