Documentary filmmaker, painter, and educator. Mainly traveling for film festivals screening my films. Deep interest in live music, cinema, and poetry. I've been making films for the past 15 years. Many of my documentaries are about folks with disabilities, poets, artists, and musicians.

I love poetry from different cultures and cinema of the world.

Here's a recent video of me reading a poem in tribute to the famous street poet, Julia Vinograd:

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To meet new people as I travel for film festivals, film projects, art events, and cinema related events.
I am looking for a place to stay in Taipei, Taiwan while I write during my visit.

Here's a recent feature-documentary that I produced/directed:
