His striking storytelling ability was developed over years of film and video editing experience. His background in Visual Effects has given him a wide array of creative tools. Often, his projects do not rely on one medium, but include a well-integrated mixture of 3-D animation, live action, motion graphics, game-play, and found footage. As a director, he prides himself in delivering products that exceed client expectation.
