I am an active Writer, Director, Actor, Cinematographer, Stunts/Special Effects Coordinator, and Art Designer in the film, television, theatre/live performance, and online media industries. I recently graduated with degrees in Cinematic Arts and Philosophy from California State University, Fullerton. I have appeared in dozens of productions in the aforementioned industries. In my writing, I will apply my expert filmmaking experience and strength in philosophy (specifically, existentialism, metaphysics, ethics, and politics) to any and all areas of the Film and Television industries.
