About Me
I'm from Port Perry, a small town in Durham Region. I went to Toronto Film School, then spent years working across the industry — music videos, short films, features, documentaries, indie productions, guerrilla videography. Whatever came up, I took it. That's how you actually learn the full picture.
My core skill is directing. I see the bigger picture before other people do — how the pieces fit, where the work is going, what it's actually saying. That instinct eventually outgrew working on other people's projects, so I started my own production company.
I'm not someone who communicates easily in person. I'm introverted, and I've never been comfortable speaking to a room. What I've always been able to do is make work that says what I can't — and find the right medium to say it in.
Moving to North Frontenac was the turning point. Something sharpened out there. I understood, for the first time clearly, what the work was actually for — and that I had the tools to do it. That's when NFNM stopped being an idea and started becoming something real.
What's underneath all of it is something I think most people my age feel but don't always name: we're not going to get what we were promised growing up. Every prime minister in my lifetime has been removed from office rather than finishing their term. That's not just a political fact — it's the kind of thing that needs an artistic response.
