I am a producer with experience across television, social, event, and performance platforms. I founded the video department at Praytell, where I produced and edited documentary film More Than T for our client M·A·C Cosmetics, with director Silas Howard. More Than T was picked up by Showtime, and our short-form video series Trans 102, written by Jen Richards and directed by Silas Howard, was presented by Refinery29.
My clients/credits include M·A·C Cosmetics, Twitter, Logitech, Shock Top, AOL, CBS, Travel Channel, Animal Planet, Discovery, Tivo, Cotton Inc, Wix, Flippable, Anheuser-Busch The High End, Playboy, Praytell, Tinkergarten, and the Nephcure Foundation.
In addition to extensive television/commercial work, I was executive producer and co-editor of the documentary Minds Of Mississippi for the Thinking Foundation. I was director of digital and co-founder of Brooklyn AirSpace, a pop-up circus training facility, and I founded and produced UnderOneDances.
At Spin The Bottle, where I was on the freelance team for over ten years, we produced a live concert-for-video series and interactive videos, in addition to traditional tv & internet video content.
During my residency at Arts@Renaissance in 2012 I created Breathe Deeply... Move Slowly... Smile, and in 2013 as part of the performance lab at the Governors Island Art Fair in 2013, I created The Process. With both projects I built interactive experiences encompassing non-traditional performance presentation.
I’ve produced site-specific and interactive dance performances for events such as the Wix IPO party, Eventbrite’s Britefest NYC, and the opening of the BEAT Festival at the Brooklyn Museum.
Beyond the headlines and debates about gender rights, witness the multidimensional lives of seven transgender and gender nonconforming individuals as told through the lens of celebrated filmmaker Silas Howard (‘Transparent').
