Knowledge is meant to be shared.
Teaching, workshops and the Indie Film Lab, built on three ideas: shoot with what you’ve got, lead with kindness, and every frame counts.
Every role behind the camera, taught openly.
College Teaching
Instructor for COM-109, Intro to Film Study. A psychology-informed, craft-first approach brought from set into the classroom.
Workshops
Hands-on sessions where storytelling meets technique: directing, cinematography, sound, editing and producing on a real budget.
Indie Film Lab
Podcasts, templates, tutorials and community resources for filmmakers building sustainable careers. Shoot with what you’ve got.
AI & New Tools
Practical, human-first ways to use AI and new media in filmmaking, as a bridge to deeper connection and never a replacement for the maker’s hand.
Mentorship
Fifteen years of mentoring emerging filmmakers inside a 16,000+ member community.
Speaking
Talks on psychology and storytelling, independent production, and building creative community.
Psychology first. Then film.
Studying psychology before film shaped how I teach: understand why people do what they do, and the craft follows.
