Wrote fun, yet information-dense narrative scripts for recruiting and onboarding videos; revised and developed them in close collaboration with Western Union personnel, including WU Chief Information Officer David Thompson. * Designed lighting and operated cameras during limited production time in working environments. * Chose and procured production equipment (cameras, lenses, lights, audio, and stabilization).
Summary
Los Angeles-based filmmaker with a passion for live music who's written/produced features, shorts, & web videos, as well as advertising content/scripts for Fortune 200 companies. LA has afforded me the chance to be everything but a 9-to-5er.
