YELE
HAITI
I shot and edited a short documentary with Press Play Producitons to promote
the inspiring work of Yele
Haiti, a foundation started by musician Wyclef Jean. Yele supports
children and families in Wyclef's mother country, Haiti, the poorest nation
in the Western Hemisphere. The documentary focuses on Yele initiatives
like school sponsorship, jobs for women, and food distribution. The piece
premiered before world leaders at the Clinton Global Initiative meeting.

MTV
CHOOSE OR LOSE STREET TEAM ‘08
I was honored to serve as Supervising Producer on a groundbreaking collaboration
with the Knight Foundation
and the Associated Press, wherein 51 state-based citizen journalists covered
the ’08 elections from a youth perspective, across all media platforms
- web, mobile,
broadcast, and virtual. I managed all details and logistics of the program's
development, launch and operations, including recruitment, training, and
supervision of all internal staff and 51 diverse reporters nationwide.
This effort contributed to both MTV's winning an Emmy Award for Public
Service, and to the most influential youth vote in history. While at MTV,
I also got to do neat things like produce a weekly, one-hour Best
of Choose or Lose show for linear mobile TV, and on-air news segments
and packages for MTV and MTVU, as well as field-produce the Democratic
and Republican National Conventions.

JERICHO’S
ECHO: PUNK ROCK IN THE HOLY LAND
I directed and produced this feature-length documentary about life and
politics in the Middle East, as seen through the eyes of Israeli punk
rockers. The cleverly written logline reads: “Rebellious Israeli
youth take up the arms of punk rock, loud guitars, and mohawks in the
most politically charged area of the world. Through interviews, verite´
scenes and live musical footage, we see how these well-spoken and outspoken
kids deal with life in their explosive, ancient region.” The film
has screened all over the world, and the DVD is now available at a website
near you.
Please visit the film’s website,

I
am always looking for new projects. Please contact
me with possible jobs or collaborations.
