Documentaries & Talks
In recent years, I have become more and more interested in the world of documentary, and nowhere has it been better to start than in my hometown. Producing personal projects has expanded into creating films for and with others who truly care about their stories, and getting them told.
I create work that explore a wide range of subjects. From history that still shapes our lives today, to quiet details in nature that tell powerful stories, my work is driven by a passion for uncovering the meaningful threads that are invisible to those who aren't searching.
I also provide professional recordings of talks, speeches, and educational presentations, including historical lectures and community events. I ensure these important moments are preserved and shared.

Chester, NY: ICE Facility
Recently in my hometown of Chester, NY, there have been protests regarding the proposal from the Department of Homeland Security to "purchase, occupy, and rehabilitate" a warehouse for ICE operations.
As an advocate against these detention centers and their documented human rights abuses, I have been following the story as more information is made available. I plan on continuing to document this story.
This video was created soon after the first protests following the propositions reveal to the public, and largely contextualizes the proposal.
