I live in Montauk New York but grew up in Canada. I went to Parsons, worked on movies, then started making my own films. My first film 'Moon of the Desperados', about bullriders, became a rodeo cult classic and launched my commercial career directing spots for everyone from Subway to the U.S. Navy. Adweek named me one of the top ten directors in America to watch. boy did I fool them. I also directed a bunch of music videos and was nominated for seven Juno awards winning three (those are Canada's grammy awards). I twice was named Canada's music video director of the year. I started a publishing company (redworldeditions.com)with my buddy, fashion photographer Raphael Mazzucco. I still direct commercials sometimes and music videos although now I am focusing on making films. No play on words intended. Also, lately things have really been taking off.
