About

In 1999 I co-founded The 7th Floor in New York, producing 25+ features and production services on budgets from $50K to $50M until 2014. Since Little Senegal (1999) I've produced 10 international co-productions with Europe and Latin America, and I advise French and Italian productions, for companies like StudioCanal, Pathé, Arte and Rai and most recently Amazon in Italy, on US union and labor issues.

I then founded Better Tomorrow Films in Los Angeles to expand into television and documentary: Executive Producer of The Lady and the Dale and The Anarchists for HBO. Producer of Revenge of the Green Dragons, executive produced by Martin Scorsese. Taught development and pitching at Columbia and LMU. EFM mentor, 2027.

Over the last two years I taught myself to code, and now I build AI production pipelines and apps end to end: previz, pitch trailers, scheduling and budgeting workflows, and products shipped to the App Store. I help productions use AI where it actually saves time and money.

Let's make it real.
