Hi! I'm a filmmaker, photographer and art director. I'm currently producing a feature film on Tibet, while freelancing with various clients doing branding, web design and photography. I directed a short film on climate change for US high schools, in collaboration with the Alliance for Climate Education and Free Range Studios. You can see that film on this site. I also served as a film curator for TED.com's Pangea Day, which was an international day of peaceful film, which appeared on over 60 million screens around the world.
