About me

I've spent much of my life drawn to things I didn't yet understand. Making films, sailing cargo aboard an old schooner, working with wood, building software, venturing through unfamiliar places, learning languages. Different pursuits, but not entirely different instincts.
I'm interested in how things come together. How people think, what they believe, what they make, and the peculiar ways we construct meaning. The intelligence that comes from working with your hands. The quiet beauty of something worn, imperfect, or shaped by time.
I like things with character, things that reveal the hands behind them. I'm equally interested in what technology might make possible and what we've lost in our enthusiasm for progress. Filmmaking is where much of this finds a voice. I love the strange alchemy of images, sound, time, and emotion. The possibility of making someone feel something they can't quite explain. Of finding beauty in unlikely places, or simply seeing something familiar in a way that makes it unfamiliar again.
I enjoy working with people who bring their own curiosity. People who care about what they're making, who aren't afraid to question an idea or follow it somewhere unexpected. The best work, I think, comes from that kind of exchange. Not from always knowing exactly where you're going, but from caring enough to find out.
