Message

At Desert Eagle Films, I wrote, directed and produced Kemet: Year One, coordinating cast, crew, action and technical departments across real Egyptian locations. I oversee its development, budgeting, scheduling, production execution and post-production.

I coordinate a five-year, ten-film co-production partnership with BUC Studios, supporting slate development and project packaging. I also work with Empire on MENA distribution and develop theatrical, airline and streaming licensing opportunities.

At Mo2, I direct agency operations and integrated media and marketing projects. I lead commercial, film, video and digital content production from client brief and creative strategy through delivery.

On contract engagements, I provided filmmaking and creative-production expertise to Stability AI and contributed to the initial development of Google / Nano Banana. My background also includes managing production at Mirror Image Pictures and business sales at AT&T.
