A full list of credits can be found on my IMDB profile page.
With over 25 years of experience in the feature film industry I have become well known for my professionalism and unobtrusiveness while shooting on working sets and locations.
On top of my ability to capture excellent behind-the-scenes coverage, I am also known for my great skill at securing interesting and in-depth interviews from cast and crew.
As a camera person who also works as a producer I have created EPK packages, promotional pieces, ‘making of’ documentaries and featurettes for Blu-ray, streaming and digital releases for most of the major studios and distributors.
In other areas of my ambitions I wrote, produced and directed ‘Schneider’s 2nd Stage’, an award winning 16 minute psychological thriller starring Kenneth Branagh, which I later adapted into a feature length script ‘Drowning’, which has been optioned several times.
I have been hired as a writer and script doctor on several other feature film scripts, as well as researching and writing a TV series bible.
In 2007 Damien Wasylkiw and myself were hired by AEG and the Artist Formerly Known As Prince to shoot and produce a music documentary on his ‘21 Nights In London’ Earth Tour. While working at Paisley Park I co-directed a music video with Prince for his hit song ‘The One U Wanna C’. A few months later Prince flew me back to the US to film him at close quarters on stage during his legendary performance at Coachella 2008.
The following year AEG introduced us to Michael Jackson and we documented his ‘This Is It’ tour announcement at the O2 Arena. We created a promotional video which we delivered, and was subsequently approved by The King of Pop himself. Sadly the tour never happened.
Over the years I have directed numerous corporate films for Babyliss, HSBC, DHL, Nicorette amongst others.
