I'm a storyteller who uses all of the beauty and power of cinema to tell tales of human struggles for positive social change.

I'm an eclectic and avid filmgoer. I try to see everything from romantic comedies to blockbusters to art house films, world cinema and documentaries.

I'm both an artist / filmmaker and a human rights defender.

Celebrate your victories and mark your defeats. Ultimately documentary filmmaking is not a job, it's a calling.

The digital revolution has had a democratizing effect. Now anyone can be a filmmaker, but to be a good filmmaker is as hard as it ever was.

Like a human rights lawyer who uses the law to rectify wrongs, I use filmic storytelling for the same effect.

I truly value the cinema experience, the tribal gathering in the dark to watch something larger than life. I like to sit in the first row with no heads in front of mine, and become one with the screen. I always stay for the complete credits so I can linger in the film's story just a little longer.
