I'm a documentary filmmaker who is interested in a water color style of creating rather than oil painting. Instead of knowing exactly how everything will look, I love to show up at the location with my tools and skills and explore and interpret what happens. You can see a sample of this style with a short film called Film Dreamers that I shot at the Sundance film festival during my first year filmmaking.

I also made a film called Peace Walker, which was a crazy and challenging journey shot over an 1100 mile walk through Scotland and England.

It became intensely personal and was hard to work on when my creative partner died soon after the shoot. I hope that after Why We Run is completed, I will be able to distribute the finished film.
In the last few years, I have been paying the bills by making short videos for adventure tour companies, hotels, massage therapists, etc.
With the help of every person who becomes part of this project I will be able to go back to my creative love and expression in the form of documentary film and exploration of what is true and real and happening out there in this amazing world. Thank you! Gracias! I love you Kickstarter!
