about

i currently live in france.

i arrived just as covid was beginning, which in hindsight feels like excellent timing or very poor judgment.

before that i spent five years in new york (2014–2019), made two films, and met my beautiful wife Clara. that part worked out pretty well.

originally i studied biochemistry and worked in a research lab in brooklyn. science was my first interest, but the industry was not. i left in 2019, which felt dramatic at the time and now just feels inevitable.

i later completed a master’s in computer science at georgia tech, specializing in ai. my favorite courses were operating systems and computer graphics, which says enough about how that specialization went.

towards the end of university i became obsessed with cinema, thanks to kubrick and eisenstein, along with a few others, and convinced it would take over my life. i started imagining new spaces for film with strong community support, and opportunities for filmmakers to connect with real audiences.

i recently designed and built timesink presents , an online cinema for curated releases. it’s an attempt to bring a sense of occasion back to watching films, even at home. the first showcase just went live.

i care about making things. films, images, writing, music, anything that feels alive and restores a bit of attention to the world.

i have two boys ezra and Orson, and a dog named mingus.
