EARLY FILMS SERVICES

Production tools have come a long way in both sophistication and lower cost. As such, more can be accomplished on a grand scale without a grand budget. I have been pursuing a goal of producing original works of film, television, and animation since my childhood years on Early Street in Morristown, New Jersey – hence the name Early Films. Allow me to assist in meeting your goals as well.

Whether you are a production company, a business or individual in need of creative services, or an independent filmmaker like myself, I am available to work at your site, or as a contractor utilizing the production resources I have assembled over time.

My preference is to join on a permanent basis a team where my position allows a sharp focus on the creative and technical aspects of production, working with people who equally enjoy their area of expertise. My clients will attest to my drive to deliver a final product above and beyond expectations.

I hold a Degree in Communications from the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at Syracuse University, which emphasized knowledge in all facets of the media including advertising, journalism, communication law, film and television. My chosen Major of Film with a Minor in Computer Science has given me a unique edge and high aptitude for today's quickly evolving media technology.

As someone on a constant quest for knowledge, I made it a point to round out my university education with diverse subjects spanning the sciences, aviation, mathematics, philosophy, psychology and literature. Having at least an intuitive if not detailed understanding of the subject becomes extremely valuable when it comes to finding the most interesting and creative approach to your project.
