"I am a veteran Entertainment Executive, with over 20 years of experience in Film, TV, VFX, and Video Games. I have produced feature films for Lionsgate Studios with A-list stars such as Bruce Willis, John Cusack, 50 Cent, and many more. I am a member of the Producers Guild of America. I am a Board Member of the DaVinci International Film Festival and a Co-Founder of FilmAfrica with the government of Kenya. I am a Co-Founder of ESTV, the USA's first 24 hour cable TV and OTT streaming channel devoted to esports and video games. I recently became an Adjunct Professor of Film and TV Production at La Sierra University, and I've discovered the joy of teaching. I want to help my students to not only gain textbook knowledge, but to learn from my real-world experiences step-by-step on how to successfully get a film produced, either through a studio or through independent financing. I want to be a real-life coach that can not only impart knowledge to students, but to open doors and give them a level of access they have never had before, and help them get their projects actually made.

My teaching approach is very collaborative. Rather than just lecture, and have students take notes, and I enjoy listening to my students share about their experiences, what exactly it is that they want to get out of their tutoring session with me, and what their end goals are in their filmmaking journey. I have many years of teaching experience. Right after college, I lived in South Korea for 2 years and taught ESL, both in a classroom and in face-to-face private tutoring sessions. I have also been a guest lecturer on the business of filmmaking at prestigious schools such as UCLA Anderson School of Business and San Diego State University's MBA program. And this year of 2025, I was officially appointed as an Adjunct Professor of Film and Television Production at La Sierra University in Riverside, California. I am confident that with my extensive work and teaching experience, I can be a very effective tutor in Filmmaking." less...
