I have 20+ years of experience producing, directing, shooting, editing and designing for an eclectic list of International clients under the Bittersweet Group name. Working with big brands like VISA, Kraft, SONY, Chanel and Wella, I bring the same quality and solutions to tiny startups and direct-to-client projects. Because I freelance for major creative agencies, I have learned quite a lot about how to formulate a unique take on a 30 second story (ok - today, a 15 second one). Instead of trying to force too many ideas into something, I know how to make one strong idea shine, giving the audience space to see some part of themselves in the story we are telling.

I am a screenwriter/editor/ghostwriter with over a decade of experience in the film industry. Screenplays I've written have gone on to win awards at film festivals (New York City International Film Fest, Manhattan Film Festival, New Filmmakers New York, GI film festival, Atlantic City Cinefest) and my first project debuted at Cannes Film Festival - Marche du Film, where it was picked up by a distribution company and released on Amazon, Netflix etc. Besides working on my own projects, I have been script editing/ghostwriting for years and have a keen eye and strong voice. I specialize in character-driven drama, thriller, comedy and independent films, but am open to any genre. I am excellent at editing, providing detailed feedback and suggestions when it comes to character development, backstory and bringing a fresh take on the material. I am currently working remote from abroad and have a flexible schedule. I am hyper-focused, creative, communicative and excited to work on new projects!
