Oh, hey there.

I’m an artist and filmmaker living in Brooklyn.

I was born in Chicago, but my parents live in the suburbs. I still claim Chicago despite this. 

Some of my films include The Script, Caro Comes Out, Across, Beyond, and OverBotanical Black, and trans·ience. I also produce nonfiction and fiction films including Crystal Kayiza’s Sundance Short Film Jury Award Winner Rest Stop and Lydia Cornett’s Bug Farm, which was distributed through POV and Nowness.

You can check out my producing work and work-for-hire projects here.

I’m very fortunate to have the support of The Sundance Institute (2023 Sundance Institute Producers Intensive and 2016 Sundance Ignite Fellowship), The Jerome Foundation, Creative Culture, The Points North Institute, GLAAD, The Gotham, Film Fatales, PBS, and Dear Producer.

My first feature with frequent collaborator, Noah Schamus, is currently in production. It’s called WITH TIME. I am also developing a documentary about the everlasting impact of queer public access television which I’m always excited to talk to people about.

P.S. I graduated from Carleton College's Cinema and Media Studies Program, where I made a lot of weird stuff that is still online.
