I’m a 5x Emmy-Award winning director and producer best known for my work on the VICE News international team. For seven years, I was tasked with reporting from the frontlines of the most unseen and underported conflicts. 

I was the one riding around in an ambulance during the first weeks of COVID. My team was the first to film mutinous soldiers in Burkina Faso in their fight against the Islamic State group after they overthrew their government in a coup-d'etat. My embed with a hostage negotiator exposed the moral grey zone in the kidnap-for-ransom industry in Nigeria, and our investigation into police impunity in Indonesia exposed the inner workings of a brigade whose tactics killed scores of civilians. I made films in dozens of countries and published them on platforms such as HBO, Showtime, Hulu and VICE TV. My videos amassed over 36-million views on YouTube alone. 

I’ve risked my life ten times over to do what I do, I believe that holding a mirror to society isn’t good enough. Stories are more than a reflection of the world, they are our fundamental tool to navigate. They provide us with a deeper sense of meaning and truth that the world around us rarely offers. I strive to create projects that feel visceral, intimate and immersive in an attempt to create an emotional record of what it means to be alive today.
