Experience summary
I'm a documentary filmmaker with fifteen years of credits across broadcast, streaming, and festival documentaries. I've directed three feature documentaries and produced many more. My coaching work is with first-time documentary directors navigating the specific work of pitching, commissioning, access negotiation, and the ethics of story-building with real people. Documentary is a genre where you live with your subjects for years — I help filmmakers think about how to do that well and how to get paid for it.
