Videographer at Seven Days
Burlington, Vermont Area
Since I was little, all I ever wanted to do was tell stories. I have been working in media production for 10 years in an attempt to fulfill that dream.
Whether it was working film festivals, projected 35mm film at art houses, staffing non-profit film organizations, coordinated big budget VFX films, making my own movies, producing zines or bartending (the very best way to understand people), all of these disparate jobs led to the same goal, capturing stories.
In January of 2007 I began making videos for Seven Days, an alt weekly in Burlington Vermont. Over the course of 2007-2008 I have produced 90 episodes of my arts and culture vlog, Stuck in Vermont and over 50 features and ads.
Vermont is a place of many juicy stories, and I have found my dream job.
