I organise things and tell true stories. I have broad production experience, particularly in documentary (for which I research, write, field-produce & direct) to cultural expos and major events. The unifying principle of this work is to engage audiences more deeply with meaningful real-world content that inspires progressive action.Essentially, if you need to get a group of people to cooperate on an ambitious task involving creative production and an audience, give me a call... especially if it includes progressive elements that edify and enlighten.
