Talenthouse

I am a filmmaker from northern New Jersey. I write, direct, produce and edit of short films, music videos and commercial projects.

Location United States, New Jersey, Boonton

Bio I first picked up a camera in middle school and began shooting short videos and documentary pieces about local sports teams.

I was accepted to New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, where I studied as a commuter student and eventually graduated a semester early with a degree in film and television production.

Since graduating, I've supported myself as a freelance writer, director, producer and editor of short films, music videos and commercial projects.

In the past several years, my work has been honored with a number of awards, including commendations from 20th Century Fox, The Tribeca Film Festival, ESPN, and Talenthouse.com (Nokia/Rihanna creative invite).

I recently released a narrative music video for the Yes Yes Yalls' of Hopatcong, NJ under my production company Film Corps. I'm currently shooting another music video for New Jersey native and hip-hop artist John Blake.

I'm also in pre-production on music videos for The Deafening Colors from Morristown, NJ and I will be producing and directing the filming of a Live performance by Goodbye Friday, a really fun and talented band playing at the NJ State Fair this July.

I'm currently completing the first draft of my second feature length screenplay and first action film, entitled Men of Vice, while revising my first feature comedy entitled, American Wanker.
