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. Read about my experience shooting on location in Haiti here and see the final piece here.

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, buy a DVD, and then write a review here or here!

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