Working closely with a large camera team we successfully captured both the live performances of the world's top comedians, as well as intimate conversations between them between sets in the bar. This project required late hours, swift camera builds, and precision with many moving parts.
Summary
I am a husband, father, and filmmaker from Queens, NY. My work focuses on Gender Equality and telling stories that have been forgotten or altered by historians.
