Every detail
serves the story.
I consider the whole viewing experience: the intention behind a line, the continuity of a character, the rhythm of a cut, the balance of sound and the clarity of a subtitle. The aim is work that feels considered from the first frame to the last.
Image and sound
Framing, movement, editing and sound are shaped as one experience.
The viewer's experience
Clear language, readable text and accessible playback are part of the work.
Human direction.
An evolving method.
I continually explore new tools, formats and production techniques, bringing them into my work when they improve the story or the viewing experience. The process evolves; the attention to character, image, sound and detail stays constant.
Meet the creatorMade for the screen in your hand.
I design the viewing experience with conventional smartphones, compact passport-style foldables such as iPhone Duo, and larger screens in mind. The story keeps its original framing; the layout, text and controls adapt around it.
Different screens. The same attention to the story.
One original frame, contained across narrow, compact and expanded layouts.
Let's make something
worth watching.
I'm open to commissioned narrative work and conversations about paid development, production partnerships and licensing for original projects. Share what you're looking to make, who it is for and the scope you have in mind.
