About

Telling quiet stories in a loud restless age

I make films about thresholds: the hour before a storm, the last night in a house, the moment someone decides to leave. My work lives in long takes, natural light and silence that asks something of the audience.

Over fifteen years I've written and directed four features and a dozen shorts, shot on three continents with small crews who care more about the frame than the schedule.
