What I Do
Raised in the Caribbean and struck with a lifelong love of humor and film, I bring a playful, cinematic touch to every project—whether its commercial campaigns, narrative shorts, or features. Thoughtful storytelling and irreverent worlds + a unique talent for working and communicating with actors.
I’ve directed commercial campaigns for Puma, Underground Grillz, and Take One Sportswear, to name a few. As well as having worked on narrative projects for Apple TV, Paramount+, and FX Networks.
I often make narrative shorts and features with Gyaldem.us. A BK-based film studio I co-founded with cinematographer Bradley Credit.
