I shoot with a Canon C200, Canon 5D Mark III, Leica V Lux-5, Canon SL2, lights and sound gear. I can single hand a shoot or put together a crew on short notice. I have extensive interview experience and excel at chasing story. I am mobile and can operate from two cases or a backpack. People talk to me and I listen well.

It's getting real. We start shooting June 12 in the studio. We move to the streets later in the month. The script is nearly complete. The vulnerability and strength of this survivor of trafficking are stunning. The lawyers who helped her saved a life.
Casting is complete
We had more than 95 applications and auditioned more than 25 actors in selection of the actor to play the survivor of trafficking and the actors for the undercover cop roles. Our team is really happy with the results and we look forward to shooting in June in DC and Alexandria. The remarkable story of the survivor and the lawyers from the pro bono legal organization who helped her makes this an exciting project to develop. More to come soon.
