When it comes to documentary filmmaking, your interviewing skills are one of the most important skills to master. These skills directly influence the depth, authenticity and emotional impact of your film.

Life is a complex and often unpredictable journey. It tests us, molds us, and, at times, breaks us, only to rebuild us in ways we could have never imagined. In this new project, I’m exploring life itself - what it means to live fully, to confront our fears, to evolve, and to transform into something new.

Passion has always been my driving force in my career with some of my best projects coming from clients who discovered my work through these passion projects.

Over the last while, I’ve been working to perfect my camera rig and feel I’ve landed on something I’m really happy with. Finding ways to have the equipment fall away and focus on the moment has always been most important and I feel I’ve found that with this rig.

I’ve always considered vulnerability an asset but not everyone does, especially in business. I believe this vulnerability leads to deeper connections.

You think to yourself, yeah, this will be hard but I can do it (with enthusiasm of coarse)! You think, many people have kids and they all seem to do alright, how hard can it be? People in worse circumstances have been having kids forever and they seem to be just fine. What doesn’t seem to get through your head when you are on the other side of the fence is how hard it actually is.

I oftentimes wonder, what is it truly triggers the sense of contentment. What is it that pulls at the right strings inside you that gives you that sense of euphoria from simply living?
