CURRICULUM VITAE
INTRODUCTION:
I am a filmmaker with 30 years experience in a wide range of filmmaking craft skills, specializing in feature-film drama production. My principal expertise is cinematography and lighting design, based on intensive formal training and extensive experience in more than 100 credited productions. In addition, I am a writer/director with a number of short dramas and documentaries in active distribution. I've also taught film, video and television production techniques from grass-roots training in the Third World to advanced professional and university level.
LATE 1960's AND EARLY 1970's:
