I was an Executive Producer for a short film, My Younger Older Sister where I worked with the writer-director on the script, the casting, and the editing as well as taking part in the filming process. This experience made me go from thinking I wanted to work in film to knowing it. From there I moved to England and searched for any opportunity I could get.
Born in New Brunswick, Canada, I have experience working on several independent short and feature films in various capacities including director, writer cinematographer, and editor. My films have been shown across Canada and have been recognized internationally, with my first two short films being invited to the 70th Festival de Cannes in both the Short Film Corner section of the Court de’ Metrage as well as Telefilm’s Not Short on Talent program.
