I'm a Video Editor and Visual Effects Artist living in Brooklyn. For me, everything is about storytelling, whether it is the story your brand is telling the consumer, the story your film is showing its audience, or the story a specific scene or look is trying to get across. Before pivoting into the post-production sphere, I was a successful writer, director, and producer in film and television, earning Emmy and DGA Award nominations for my work. These experiences have taught me that story is the key to engaging any audience, and I can bring that expertise, creativity, and technical knowledge to your project. --- INDUSTRY EXPERIENCE Freelance VFX Artist NYC / 2019 - 2024 Created visual effects for feature films, television shows, sizzle reels, social content, and brand videos with a focus on motion graphics, cleanup, and compositing. - Feature film highlights include "Under His Influence" (BET+) and "What Lies Under the Tree" (Tubi) - Television highlights include the horror anthology series "I’ve Got a Story to Tell" (BET+) - Additional clients include Medable, Zeit, Kerry Tribe, and Zenith Financial Group Freelance Editor NYC / 2019 - 2024 Edited feature films, television shows, sizzle reels, movie trailers, social content, and brand videos. - Feature film highlights include "A Message From Brianna" (Between the Linez Productions) and "Dear Best Friend" (BET+) - Television highlights include "I’ve Got a Story to Tell" (BET+) and "The Gauff Experience" (IROC media) Segment Director & Senior Field Producer FULL FRONTAL WITH SAMANTHA BEE | TBS NYC / 2015 - 2019 Pitched under-reported news stories and developed them into short-form comedic documentaries featuring interviews and sketches with politicians, celebrities, and activists. - Directed a half-hour Variety Special about the run-up to the 2016 election, which earned a nomination for a DGA Award for “Outstanding Directorial Achievement for a Variety Special” - Created segments for a special episode about the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico that resulted in an Emmy nomination for “Outstanding Writing for a Variety Special” Director & Producer 5 SHELLS | Melodramatic Eagle Productions New Mexico & NYC / 2010 - 2014 - Shepherded this micro-budget feature film from conception to distribution including securing crowdfunding, budgeting, hiring and managing crews, and dealing with all the minutiae that comes with producing a tiny, independent movie.
