And um documentaries are definitely a sweet spot for me in my work.
Um they're not the only thing I do.
I do narrative work, I do episodic work, I
You know, as a director for Hire, I've worked on lots of different kinds of things for nonprofits and foundations and commercials.
But really nonfiction storytelling, I think, has emerged over the arc of my career as my kind of specialty.
And um and I love documentaries.
And I've sort of come at the documentary space from a lot of different roles and points of view.
Um, I think what you see in my career is a real commitment to sort of powerful personal.
Storytelling and an interest in social issues and kind of bringing those two things together.
And what I do is, you know, I do a very, very deep dive on every film that I'm involved in, whether I'm a director or producer or both.
And you know, as I as my career has evolved, you know, and I'm getting older and wiser, you know, I'm I'm taking on more role as an executive producer or a consulting producer, where other filmmakers hire me in my
my company to kind of really help them be successful.
But when I do the deep dive, when I'm directing and I'm producing, um I I take that very, very seriously.
And I um I do sort of
you know, very involved research and, you know, really understand how I can add value to the storytelling landscape.
Because more often than not, you know, storytelling um preexists me.
Um like case in point, you know, I've made many films about HIV and AIDS.
And I wouldn't dare to kind of jump into that storytelling landscape without understanding the implications of being an AIDS storyteller.
Um so with any social issue, whether it's organ donation or poverty or PTSD or you know, all these different issues that you may be seeing in the various films I've I've made over the years, I spend a lot of time, as do my team, as do the people I collaborate with, um, really making sure that that we're doing this right, you know, and that we're being additive.
That's the word that I use a lot.
