My passion for filmmaking and the media arts began at the early age of seven, sparked by curiosity and a simple flip phone. Growing up in Staten Island, New York, I was always fascinated by the details of the world around me—much like any child—but my curiosity extended to the mechanics of storytelling. I spent hours watching behind-the-scenes footage from movies I rented at Blockbuster, captivated by how scenes seamlessly transitioned from one shot to another.

When my father gave me his old flip phone, I experimented with its camera, capturing moments from my surroundings. One day, I discovered a feature that compiled my photos into a stop-motion video. That moment was an epiphany—I had unintentionally created my first film. From then on, my passion for visual storytelling became clear, setting me on the path to a career in filmmaking.

Fast-forward 8+ years, I founded PlanetNZX Studios, my own film and media production company, and immersed myself in the industry to refine my craft. I earned a BFA in Filmmaking with a minor in Entrepreneurship from Montclair State University, New Jersey, equipping myself with both artistic and business acumen. As a multidisciplinary media artist, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the intricate roles involved in film and commercial production.

Today, my focus is on expanding my expertise in more DP Cinematography roles and Content Creation, collaborating with brands and creative partners to bring compelling visual stories to life.
