Brooktondale, New York, United States
I am a filmmaker and photographer living in Ithaca, NY USA
I began filmmaking in 2005 and have always found a way to create pieces promoting social justice. Most of my films have had a local focus even though the content had powerful global implications. Subjects ranged from a documentary about opening the Ithaca Free Clinic to serve the uninsured in upstate New York to a piece on the academic experiences of African American students during a period of heightened racial tensions, to a short about food insecurity and the Friendship Donations Network.
