About

Hi, I’m James, a freelance filmmaker and photographer based in Los Angeles.

I’m currently pursuing my MFA in Film & Television Production at USC’s School of Cinematic Arts, where I was honored as a George Lucas Scholar. After graduation, I aim to direct feature films with a focus on meaning and impact.

I also create documentaries, narrative films, and media for businesses and nonprofits. My work has been recognized with three 2025 Telly Awards for a mental health docuseries I produced, two 2023 GI Film Festival nominations for my short Major, and selection as DP/producer on a student film at the 2022 San Diego Film Festival.

Driven by curiosity, I love learning people's stories, exploring new cultures, and capturing the natural beauty of the world.

If you’d like to connect or learn more about my work, feel free to reach out!
