My Loop
About Me
n 2010 I developed an animated television series for kids and in 2011 I made the leap to developing feature film projects full-time. I'm currently in the process of writing five feature films over the course of this year.
Back in 2004 I graduated from Florida State University's Film School after writing and directing five live action short films. I went on to work as a director, producer, and 1st AD on two low-budget feature films on both ends of the United States.
I then moved to Australia in 2007 and began working as a director and motion designer to broaden my understanding of visual effects and animation and went on to get a Graduate Certificate in Animation Directing and Content Development from the Australian Film Television and Radio School in Sydney.
