I act primarily as a Video Project Director, which includes all video production tasks "from script to screen", including creative development, videography, editing, and distribution to DVD, television and web. I also offer some graphic design and website services. My clients mainly include corporations, realty, non-profits, museums and universities. Also, theatrical short and feature film scripts are in the works for future projects that I hope to produce.
