With hundreds of hours inside intense control booths on the biggest projects in the world, I've learned how to work under the pressure of live events and television. I bring my unique style of calmness and leadership to every production I'm chosen to direct or show call. I am passionate about collaboration and teamwork and look forward to helming your project.
If you are putting on a live show or corporate event and need someone to call tape and music cues or cue powerpoint slides, I've had experience in that realm as well, most recently on the Critics Choice Association's Celebration of Asian Pacific Cinema & Television and Celebration of Latin Cinema & Television.
If you have a live television program or internet livestream that you need a Director, Associate Director or Tape AD, I have experience on projects like Blue Origin: First Human which saw Amazon & Blue Origin founder
Jeff Bezos launched into space.
Music videos have been a passion of mine since I was younger. I love the ability to tell a story through music. Here is a music video I directed & produced for Cycle for Survival. Utilizing one of their talented nurses at Memorial Sloan Kettering, we recorded a cover of Andra Day's "Rise Up" and then shot performances on a deck at the hospital. We added footage from Cycle for Survival's first event since the pandemic began. All footage was shot in New York while I was in California.
Virtual panel discussions became a very popular form of content during the pandemic. Here's a panel I directed on StreamYard for WonderCon and the non-profit organization SIPA (Search To Involve Pilipino Americans) featuring three Filipino Voice Over actors featured in cartoons like Avatar: The Last Airbender, Space Jam and Steven Universe.
The last seven years when not working on big network events, I've been working on my passion project, The School of Hard Knocks. A documentary about where I got my start, the independent professional wrestling scene. It's where I produced my first show and this film tells the history of that organization and its leader. The film is almost complete and I'm hoping to share it late 2022.
