As a somewhat wiser alleged grown-up, my obsession is the new renaissance—the reunion between art, creativity, and storytelling, and science and technology through today’s virtual windows. I seek out science and climate fiction, alien worlds (including our own!), anthropology, postmodernism, transhumanism, and XR technology, and stories that rewrite existing narratives. I want to make things that redefine the use cases for our wildest dreams, accessing both modern and ancient mindsets through story, color, sound, and fury.

I am now a graduate of the Martin Scorsese Virtual Production Center at NYU Tisch, where I learned virtual production producing and mixed reality filmmaking from outline to final pixel. The more I learn about VP, the ultimate union of mixed reality technology and traditional filmmaking, the more I realize it restores traditional filmmaking practices - there is so much we can now do together, on-set and in-camera, bringing us full circle to the collaborative and prescient creative and technical decisions that characterize our species’ earliest theatrical endeavors.
