DiamondInfo Info

Description:

I work creatively at 186,000 miles per second. Stories are realized through my use of light, lenses, filters, sound and recording media. Stories unfold through my selection in framing and blocking of actors. Stories are told through my choices of editing the motion pictures and the sound. But none of it happens without the assistance of dozens of talented people who I have the privilege of working with daily. I am here on ReelMix to meet interesting people both inside and outside the film industry. I maintain this page to showcase various projects and as a resource for those who are interested in the art of cinematography, editing and directing. I thrive on my networking of hardworking colleagues and reciprocity. Do you have a story to tell or something to promote? I am open to explore how we might work together so feel free to contact me.

Experience:

I currently work as a motion picture director, cinematographer and editor. My 2008 credits include Second Unit Director, Camera Operator and Digital Compositor for the film “Unbeatable Harold” that stars Henry Winkler, Dylan McDermott, Gordon Michaels, Gladys Knight and more. This past summer I hosted the world premiere of this film at the Detroit Institute of Arts. It was attended by well over 700 people and served as the launch event for the Detroit Windsor International Film Festival (an organization that I serve as a board member).
