Crafting powerful stories. Developing visionary storytellers.
I create stories for stage, page, and screen while helping actors, directors, and fellow storytellers deepen their craft, sharpen their vision, and lead with boldness.
The through-line
Story has shaped my life: directing actors, producing films, coaching fellow artists, and building an independent studio around work that combines wonder, emotional truth, and moral clarity.

How I work
Better stories begin with better questions.
I believe directing is an act of clear vision, careful listening, and service to the story. The goal is not to impose a performance. It is to create the conditions in which honest, specific work can emerge.
