About me:

A film enthusiast. I spend most of my time either making films, writing about film, or watching films.
When I'm not in the classroom, or behind a camera, or writing for my blog, I can usually be found in one of the projection rooms at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, where I work projecting films for classes and trouble shooting tech issues. Previous jobs have included a long-term internship at Comcast Cable, where I worked in the production facility editing public service announcements for broadcast in the Baltimore-Washington market; production runner for ESPN and Turner Sports in Washington DC; video director for a fitness website; and most recently, a stint in retail doing sales at RadioShack.
In addition to my own films, my recent film projects have included a feature film, "The Adventures of Louanna Lee", which I directed in Baltimore this past summer for producer Lee Doll. I also directed Louanna Lee's music video for her song, "Spirit Leads Me", and worked with Louanna on a comedy short, "A Day at the Antique Shop", also produced by Lee Doll.
I've also acted in a number of films, most recently playing the role of Adam Andrews in Charles Tashiro's political satire, "USSA" (2009), and the lead role in the yet-to-be-released "The Toothfairies' Union", directed by Shelly Blake-Plock.
I earned my Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Media and Film from Towson University in Towson, Maryland, and am currently pursuing my Master's in Cinema Studies at New York University.
I've lived in Maryland all my life, but have just re-located to New York City. Quite a change from the small town I grew up in, but I've really enjoyed exploring the sights and sounds of New York.
I have a blog,The Art and Culture of Movies, where I write on a variety of topics relating to film history and theory.

If you'd care to check out some of my videos, I have a number of them uploaded to my Daily Motion account.
