I am a recent graduate of the Savannah College of Art and Design's graduate Film and Television program where I focused my work on writing and cinematography and earned a Master of Fine Arts degree. I've worked with 16mm and 35mm film, HD and SD formats on a number of projects. I've written several spec scripts including feature-length screenplays, television dramas and television sitcoms. I'm interested in gaining entry into the network or cable television industry as a staff writer, director of photography, or camera operator/assistant on a sitcom or dramatic narrative program.
