RELOCATING TO NEW YORK CITY, NY
SUMMARY
Happy to relocate! For the past 4+ years I have been regularly traveling coast-to-coast for freelance filmmaking and photography work. Netflix, Discovery, Travel Channel, and more are among my recent client list. That said, I am usually operating the camera(s) and in charge of lighting but still part of a small crew. My goal is to move into a leadership role in these fields of work.
