I discovered the joy of watching films at an early age thanks to my parents. It was only later in life that I realized I wanted to make them as well. I studied Psychology in school and entered a career in Human Resources, but was not fulfilled creatively. After 5 years in the corporate world, I walked away and in 2006 moved from the Bay Area/Silicon Valley to New York in order to pursue filmmaking full-time. I haven’t looked back since.

I’ve been fortunate enough to have 5 feature films under my belt: 3 works of my own and 2 “for-hire” films. I prescribe to the “one for me – one for them” philosophy where I love making both commercial and personal films. My latest feature is a musical/drama “How Do You Write A Joe Schermann Song” which has been 2 years in the making (many thanks to our Kickstarter backers!!). I’m excited to share it with audiences in 2012.

When not working….oh who am I kidding I’m “working” all the time now in some fashion because I love what I do. I’ve got movies on the brain.
