● Speaking
Keynotes & workshops that re-open a room.
I speak to film schools, universities, K–12 media programs, and industry events. Each talk is shaped to the audience — the descriptions below are a starting point, not a menu.

The Creative Instinct
A keynote about how ideas actually arrive — and the unsexy, lifelong work of recognizing the good ones. For audiences who want permission to take their imagination seriously again.
All audiences · 45–60 min

Story, Camera, Cut
A practitioner's tour through modern production and post: how scripts hold up under pressure, what the camera is really doing, and how the edit decides the film.
Film & media programs · 60–90 min
- 03
AI, Media & The Next Generation
An honest, hopeful look at the tools reshaping our industry — and how students and teachers can stay grounded, curious, and unmistakably human inside them.
Educators & students · 45–75 min

Bringing Creativity To Life
The signature talk. A career's worth of stories about the moments creative work becomes real — on set, in the edit bay, in front of a classroom, and inside ourselves.
