I provide professional video and film production services for non-fiction TV, corporate productions, networks and documentaries. Unlike many cameramen, I also direct and edit, so I will always shoot with the "cut" in mind. I've developed my craft by shooting everything from indie features to documentaries, and corporate productions, all over the world, for the most demanding of clients. My goal is to give you great footage and make you look good to your clients.

Camera crews are available locally in North Carolina which includes Chapel Hill, Raleigh, Durham, Research Triangle, Hillsborough, Wilmington, Greensboro, Winston-Salem, and Southern Virginia. I've also traveled extensively for my clients. This has included 49 states and abroad to South Africa, Namibia, Angola, Brazil, Belize, and Canada. I have lots of experience in dealing effectively and legally with foreign customs, and film agencies to obtain permits.
