Since 2010, I have been teaching filmmaking in Philadelphia high schools and through summer programs. As my educational programs have expanded I created a new entity called Video Visionaries. I would have never imagined that I would find something I love as much as filmmaking, but sharing my first love with my students has made teaching the second passion in my life. Check out some of my students great work.

Students with Artist Ernel Martinez
See the students great photography work for the tribute here!
A group of seven students that I had the pleasure to train covered the unveiling of the Ed Bradley Mural as photo journalist. The event sponsored by the Ed Bradley foundation and the Philadelphia Mural Arts program showcased the work of the artist Ernel Martinez and the legacy of the great journalistic work of Philadelphia's own Ed Bradley. We are really looking forward to doing more projects with the Ed Bradley foundation in the future.

The First Comic Book from Out the House Comics coming Summer 2020
I confess. I am comic book geek. Ever since I read Uncanny X-men 162 in 1982 I was hooked. So a short 35 years later, I am finally preparing for the publishing of my first comic.
What took so long?
After my first feature film 'Dirty Laundry (Air it Out) was distributed nation wide. I tried to find a carve a space for myself in the comic book industry only to realize it was just as tough to crack as the film industry. So I decided then that when I was ready to go I wanted to control the means of production.
I'm ready.
First title will be revealed very soon. very very soon..
