PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY
Immersive cinema director, filmmaker, and projection designer with a practice rooted in New York City (1997–2017) and now based in Miami (2017–present). Operates as a complete one-person production unit — conceiving, shooting, producing, and presenting original cinematic works to live public audiences across prestigious cultural, sacred, and natural venues. Works across the full cinematic spectrum: real-world location cinematography, drone and 360° capture, projection mapping, and AI-augmented visual systems — each tool deployed intentionally in service of the experience. Brings rare depth born of nearly three decades of media theory, art world context, and technical mastery that predates and contextualizes the current AI paradigm. The result is work that doesn’t just look extraordinary — it moves audiences, heals, and creates genuine awe.
