TECHNICAL DIRECTOR - POST SUPERVISOR
As a technical director and occasional post supervisor I have been responsible for researching/purchasing/maintaining/upgrading technical systems for both post production and office at large for a company of upwards of 80 people working on several concurrent large projects for different networks. I have run and maintained an Avid ISIS central storage system along with 25+ connected edit bays and stations. I have also been responsible for advising on workflow from out in the field all the way through final mix and color correct. Basically it plugs in I have been responsible for it at some point. See below for some of the many projects that I have had the pleasure of working on.

KEHINDE WILEY: AN ECONOMY OF GRACE - 2014- HBO
Known for his vibrant, larger-than-life reinterpretation of classical portraits featuring young African-American men, New York-based visual artist Kehinde Wiley has turned the practice of portraiture on its head—and in the process, has taken the art world by storm.
Now, Wiley has undertaken an exciting new project: a series of classical portraits of African-American women, something he’s never done before. The short film, Kehinde Wiley: An Economy of Grace, documents the project as it unfolds, tracking Wiley’s process from concept to canvas, and coming to know the women whom he selects to paint. As with Wiley’s previous work, his models are street-casted in New York City and posed to recall the 18th and 19th century portraits of society figures, which inspire Wiley’s vision. Rather than wearing their own clothing, however—as his male subjects have done—Wiley envisions each of his female models swathed in an original couture gown. To realize his vision, he will join forces with one of the world’s top fashion houses, Givenchy, giving rise to an utterly unique and extremely high profile collaboration between art and haute couture.

WEVOLVE - WORLDBANK - 2015
Show of Force worked in partnership with the World Bank on WEvolve, a global initiative to empower a generation of young women and men to challenge the societal norms that lead to gender-based violence.
News about the launch of WEvolve South Asia reached nearly 4 million people on social media through the #WEvolve hashtag. A partnership with Twitter also provided a platform to engage multiple Bollywood celebrities at the event and increase the campaign’s reach on social media. Since launch, Show of Force has created five campaign videos and multiple extras with over half a million views, thousands of positive comments and mainstream media coverage on Elle India, Huffington Post India, Hindustan Times, and NDTV.
Together, the World Bank and Show of Force have created a scalable communications model to raise awareness on gender-based violence and promote positive actions from men addressing the problem. By leveraging the power of local influencers including celebrities, Show of Force has created a media intervention that engages people on an individual level and acts as a robust mechanism to increase understanding about the need for action on this issue. This leads to further funding for the initiative and a deeper engagement and investment in NGOs successfully tackling this issue on the ground.
