Bio

My journey in film began a few years ago when I teamed up with another budding filmmaker in Montenegro, we chased and documented the conspiracy that is the Yugoslavian Space Program. Since returning home we've started our own small production company, producing low-budget adverts, documentaries, and music videos.

Now in the pursuit of bigger things, I'm hoping to work alongside some lighting and camera veterans who can administer some wisdom/brutal honesty and help hone my cinematography skill set. This being said I'm not afraid of the mahi; I pride myself on my coolness under pressure, my attention to detail, and my ability to adapt. I'm a quick learner and a reliable worker.

I'm currently working as a lighting technician, but am also looking to extend my capabilities and gain experience with an enthusiastic camera crew.

In addition, I've also completed two years of a building apprenticeship and have a BCom (Management/Marketing) degree.
