Professional Summary

I am an AI Film Director and VFX Lead, RISD alumni (BA, Film / Animation / Video — 1994–1998, First-ever 3D CGI animated degree project at RISD), with 30 years of professional experience creating cinematic visuals for film, television, experiential, interactive, and commercial campaigns. I work hands-on across the full post pipeline — Previz/Postviz, 3D + 2D CGI, Compositing, Editing, and AI-Generated Imagery — from concept through final delivery. I have worked on music videos with 200 million YouTube views, best-selling video games, #1 rated TV shows, Award-Winning Feature Films, and advertising + experiences for leading national and international brands. I contribute comfortably to mainstream media franchises at established studios, as well as original IP niche content for startups/independants.

AI Filmmaking — 2023 to Present

Embraced generative AI since 2023 for video and stills production, including hybrid VFX integration. I use AI in preproduction for concept design, style exploration, and pitch decks. Professional commercial AI video directing experience for leading brands. I apply traditional VFX QC standards, No slop (unless you want that on purpose for a gag, in which case I got you covered)

Traditional 3D / VFX — 1994 to Present

30-year career as a comprehensive 3D/VFX Generalist. Works across multiple roles to minimize artist handoffs — modeling, rigging, animation, CFX, dynamics, look dev, lighting, compositing, camera tracking, rotoscoping, color grading, and on-set VFX supervision. I can and have moved from preproduction, to onset VFX supervision, to performing the final frame 3d and postproduction tasks for the same show.
