Agent

My first foray into action and working with a top stunt team.  Entirely shot and produced in Los Angeles, Agent is the first part to an action sci-fi thriller.  Agent Revelation(PART II) released January 2021 to all major platforms.

My first love was acting.  But now my greater love is in being a part of the total creation, in the field in front of or behind the camera, acquiring skills in all disciplines from script to production to post production to make me a better artist.  Filmmaking is a team sport, and I want to be like Michael Jordan, with the ability to play the game and lead a team to victory.  I don't need to be the coach or the general manager, I just love being in the game, having fun, and winning at my craft.

About Me

There's no doubt, there's a content war and everyone is fighting for attention.  I will humbly tell you that I've been honing my craft in many disciplines so that I can become the best story teller possible, be it acting, writing, directing, or editing.  To do that, I've written, produced, and directed, and starred in features produced across Hong Kong, Shanghai, New York, and California that have been released internationally acquired by Warner Bros., Paramount Pictures, and Hulu which have succeeded in drawing great numbers in both the US and China as well as other countries globally.  I've directed TV World Cup commercials, and big branded content like spots for Marriott Hotels.  I'm the tech reviewer video and written for the South China Morning Post, and mainly that has come about because of my love for it as well as my belief that using tech in film gives me a great advantage when it comes to production efficiency.  It's taking me years of hard work, dedication, sacrifice and as CEO Howard Schultz of Starbucks would put it, "getting in the mud", and now I'm confident in any situation, any role, and even any place around the world.  I'm here to do great work, with great messages, and change one person at a time.  Don't hesitate to reach out and say hello so I might learn something new, or get the opportunity to help you on your project.
