Director, Editor - Forbes

Forbes was one of my first official film/video jobs. I shot and was mentored by an award-winning journalist named Simon Constable who taught me there was no corner that was worth cutting and who encouraged me to make our visual impact the story as much as possible- to the point that we shot 25 of our 50 episodes together in black and white. 

This series is the reason for the rest of my career. It taught me that I can shoot anything, anywhere, and with anyone. 

Finance is, on paper, quite a boring subject (no offense, Simon!), but I made it exciting. Shooting outside on the streets of NYC alone (I did camera, lighting, and sound) is at best harrowing. On top of it all, getting interviews with people  who (in Simon's words) "are worth more money than God" made me understand you can get any interview on the planet if you can prove you will make someone look good and show them that you have an original story.
