OWNER & AWARD-WINNING
CINEMTOGRAPHER / PRODUCER
I’m a director and cinematographer based in British Columbia, founder of Kelowna Film Studios, and producer of award-winning films including Mabel, Blood Brothers and Because She’s Adopted. My work spans commercial campaigns, feature-length films, and reality television, with credits across Netflix, Disney/ABC, Amazon Studios, CTV/Bell Media, Global News, and YouTube.
At KFS, I’ve led projects ranging from independent films to made-for-TV movies, while also working to bring larger productions and MOWs into the Okanagan. I’ve collaborated with IATSE 891 and ICG 669 crews, VFX teams that have delivered for Mel Gibson/Mark Whalberg and Matt Damon/Ben Affleck, and networks like eTalk, Altitunes, and the CCMAs. My approach is practical and story-driven: whether on a 3-person doc crew or a 85-person narrative set, I keep productions on schedule, budgets lean, and visuals uncompromising.
