< I believe in >

Access. We. All. Can. Have. Access. We can create and share stories. We CAN support people, communities, and causes we believe in. And we should. If we don’t, who will?

Diversity. Equity. Inclusion. I support the aspirations of our diverse students to make life better. Yes to equitable learning opportunities which support success for all students! I also work to cultivate these values in the work practices of my students. It’s the right thing to do, it’s the responsible thing to do, and, diverse teams make better stuff.

True stories. Find true stories. Find important stories. Share them.
Even fiction must represent people as they are, or as they can be. Truthiness!

Videography and sound recording. Professional competence in representing people, places, and subjects faithfully. Tell and amplify their truth. Do it with great imagery and great sound.

Cool tech. Digital media technology is advancing at a staggering pace. Catch a wave, see what it offers. Create something amazing! Be amazing!

Family wage jobs with benefits. They exist. They are real. They are in our video/film and adjacent industries. Build your skills. Build your story. Build your reel.

Lifelong Learning. Keep learning. Rinse and repeat. Don’t stop.
