    For 15 years I've written, directed and edited video content. I've worked with brands like Amazon, Microsoft, Visa, Toyota, Air Jordan, HTC, Nintendo, and more. I even made a Super Bowl spot for Bud Light! I excel at making videos entertaining. Whether it's making something fast paced and music driven, or something thoughtful that pulls at the heartstrings. I'm an all around storyteller who can write and create in many tones and styles.

    Hello! I am a freelance Cinematographer living in Los Angeles who's shot several commercials, narrative films, music videos, live events and weddings. My main focus currently is to shoot narrative features, shorts, music videos and commercials. I have a huge passion for films and the art of filmmaking. I've only ever wanted to do what I do now, and it is a great fortune of mine to be a working professional in this field. I am very adaptable, as I have varying tastes and interests in terms of storytelling, style and content. I've formed lasting relationships from film school and throughout my professional life, most of whom I still work with today. I am also a passionate musician, who produces music playing guitar, synthesizers, drums and keys through Ableton. I look forward to working with you! Sonny

    Driven by a passion for storytelling and visual innovation, I have built my career mastering the art of creative consulting, direction, and photography. As a UC San Diego Visual Arts graduate, I’ve had the privilege of working with globally recognized brands like Google, YSL, and Uniqlo—helping them transform abstract ideas into powerful, impactful visuals that align seamlessly with their goals. I thrive in leadership roles, where I focus on empowering and equipping my team to excel rather than simply directing them. I believe the real magic comes when everyone is set up for success and given the tools to thrive. For me, respect is earned by prioritizing the mission and the team’s progress over personal recognition. Whether I’m directing a campaign, consulting on creative strategy, or behind the camera capturing a story, I approach every project with humility, enthusiasm, and a focus on delivering results. My ultimate goal is to craft media that inspires and captivates while staying true to each brand’s unique voice and purpose. Let’s connect—I’d love to explore how we can create something remarkable together.
