Travel and expeditions:

From the middle of the Amazon to the streets of Paris, I have experience traveling abroad and planning for expeditionary projects into remote locations. Safety being my number one priority, I ensure everything is accounted for before venturing into potentially dangerous locations. Furthermore, I ensure to hire and work with local support crews and experts in order to cover every possible angle.

Research:

Through thorough research I bring to life every aspect and emphasize every detail possible regarding the people and location of a given area. From cultural mythologies and traditions to potential environmental impacts.

Cultural Sensitivity:

I work closely with the indigenous people of an area to make sure their story is heard and expressed through film. Accuracy of traditional practices, for example, is something that needs to be preserved without gimmicks.

Location Scouting:

Prior to shooting I will go out and explore various possible locations to ensure the most spectacular and interesting areas that will contribute to the overall storytelling. Depending on the location, along with location manager, I will help run point with permits and make sure proper gear is determined for the various locations.

Gear:

Based on the production value I rent from various local film gear providers and can also provide a two-camera ‘on-location’ film shoot (camera and audio field recorder).

Logistical expertise:

I will work closely with the cinematographer/DP to establish specific camera gear, lenses, lighting, etc needed for the shoot. Likewise, I will coordinate with service providers regarding needed resources and transportation of gear as needed.
