I LOVE
Canadian director living in Los Angeles.
I started my career as a cinematographer in Toronto. After a few years I shifted focus to directing. In my first year as a director I made 3 music videos that wen't "Viral" and won several awards including, Cannes Young Director Award Gold & MMVA Director of The Year.

Commercials
Making commercials was the next move. I've since made commercials for brands like American Express, Budweiser, Saks Fifth Avenue, Beats by Dre & Tiger Beer.
