Story, craft, and practical production experience.
I began as an actor in 1986, which gave me an early understanding of performance, timing, collaboration, and how stories are built from the inside out.
In 1998, I moved into audio and video postproduction, and since 2000 I have worked in corporate video production while continuing to write, direct, edit, and develop independent film projects.
That mix of experience gives me a practical view of production. I understand what it means to shape a project from concept to delivery, and I care about the details that help a finished piece feel clear, polished, and human.
Background
Performance
My first creative foundation was acting. That experience still shapes the way I think about direction, character, rhythm, and the relationship between the camera and the performer.
Production
I’ve worked in corporate video production for more than two decades, creating work that needs to be clear, reliable, professional, and built around the needs of a specific audience.
Postproduction
Editing, sound, color, finishing, and visual effects are central to how I think about storytelling. Post is where structure, tone, pacing, and emotion become visible.
Movement
My background in classical Chinese Martial Arts informs the way I approach screen movement, action, body mechanics, rhythm, and physical storytelling.
The production banner behind the work.
Radio Tribe Productions is where I develop my video production work, independent films, short-form screenplays, and creative projects.
The company reflects a simple idea: every project should be built around story, craft, collaboration, and a practical understanding of how to get from an idea to a finished piece.
Creative Focus
My independent film work often blends comedy, science fiction, fantasy, action, and character-driven storytelling. I’m drawn to heightened ideas that still feel grounded in performance and emotion.
Whether I’m working on a client video, a short film, a promotional piece, or a proof of concept, I’m looking for the same thing: the clearest way to connect image, sound, performance, and story.
