Condensed Version
I'm a filmmaker and documentarian who grew up loving the classic films I’d see with my dad at the Castro Theater in San Francisco. I first learned filmmaking with my brothers on a $74 Tyco Black and White camera that recorded via the VCR. I went on to attend New York University’s Tisch School of the Arts for Film & TV, but left to travel across India with a Canon 7D to make short films. Upon returning to New York, I freelanced until starting full-time work as an overnight editor for Bloomberg News, covering the London time block.
First solely focused on narrative film, my news experience inspired me to pursue non-fiction projects as well. It was during this time I also met my future wife and collaborator, Meera Joshi, and we traveled to Peru to teach ourselves how to make documentaries. This relationship would eventually evolve into our production company, Darling Street Pictures, and we focus on both fiction and non-fiction projects.
