Hi there! I'm an independent for-hire filmmaker, camera person, editor, colorist and fully certified drone pilot here in Raleigh. For ten years I've been obsessively shooting/editing documentaries, promo, commercial and event videos - culminating in moving here in the fall of 2019 to work with Chair 8. I took myself freelance September 2020.
I'm looking to immediately make myself valuable and provide value as a Camera Person and Editor. I’ll pro-bono brainstorm about your needs and budget.
