About me:

I have been writing,shooting,editing,directing,and producing short digital movies ranging from sci-fi horror to homage to 1930's gangster films. Now I have completed my first feature length documentary titled "Faster Than A Fax Machine". The documentary explores a year in the life of a subway performer Chris and bike messenger Bullet, an aspiring rapper/rocker, as they set out to make it in the music industry. My other passion is music. Playing music at a local ice cream store one night introduced me to one of my documentary subjects, and the other serendipitously showed up at the office job I was working at the time; and at that moment the project was launched. On my own, I shot the two subjects for a year in the subways,nightclubs,and streets of Boston. After working eight months in post-production on the project, the result is a movie I feel has emotional depth,and a sincere appreciation for each subjects stories. In my spare time I spend it by painting abstract portraits of women's faces. The movie (Faster Than A Fax Machine) is now being submitted to festivals and screened at colleges.
