With almost 40 years in the entertainment industry, having worked in multiple aspects, my philosophy is one of total collaboration. "The best idea in the room wins, regardless who it comes from." Studying for a summer in Ireland, I was able to interview various artistic directors, playwrights, actors, designers and educators. These interviews taught me how to explore the complexities of a new script, to keep an open mind when uncovering the often hidden and impactful meanings in subtlety and to always look for the new, untried and fresh. Combining new talent with seasoned veterans is always highly rewarding and allows for a creative team that creates from multiple perspectives. It is these perspectives that bring a show/film to life. As a director/producer it is my pleasure to bring these voices together to create something beautiful, entertaining, challenging and a little educational.
