“Creating a documentary about the impact of living paycheck to paycheck. Raw, honest, and real stories.”
My outcast lens weaves uncanny stories into filmmaking to address how humanity reconciles with our chaotic, often incomprehensible, divisive world.
An NYU graduate, I have been involved in the film industry since 2007 with film program, policies, tax incentives and film studio development. Some of my film work include: Somebody Next Door (Director/Producer), Homeless Ashes (Executive Producer), Drunktown’s Finest (Executive Producer, Sundance Selection, Robert Redford, Executive Producer). With extensive economic, natural resources and community development experience, I bring a unique, raw POV and access to invoke disparate disciplines into potential call to action that comes from within the deep spaces of characters and places.
My current film One Paycheck Away is a character-driven documentary that explores the raw and honest experiences of several hardworking middle class Americans living busily and often frantically as they urgently seek resolutions to the impact of
“ONE PAYCHECK AWAY”.
I started this project in 2019, as news touted record low unemployment and robust economic “growth“ when almost 80% of Americans lived paycheck to paycheck.
Fast forward to spring 2020, 40+ million Americans filed for unemployment as pandemic COVID19 related lockdowns and ensuing events changed life as we know it. The wounds long buried in our collective cultural psyche and systemic dysfunctions are being exposed. In many ways, we are called to face what we feared the most, with little option to ignore. Or will we find a way to ignore it?
