I’ve been working in television since 1999 and did perform my first multi-camera directing in 2000. I have shot a lot of very different multi-camera productions – sports, music, theatre, entertainment, game shows, talk shows, etc.
I want to be very professional at what I do, I remain patient in stressful situations, I have good spatial awareness, I am thorough in my preparations, I have good people skills, and can motivate the team with my enthusiasm.
