After traveling perpetually for a decade and a half and enjoying a careers as a travel writer, journalist, and author, in 2017 it became clear to me that the next stop on this journey would inevitably be in documentary film. At first, I thought this endeavor would be little more than doing writing projects with a camera. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Documentary is it’s own beast. 

After landing jobs in various roles on a few film projects and shooting my first feature doc, I had learned the ropes enough to be ready to set up a base of operations and fully dive into documentary filmmaking. So in 2019 I arrived in New York City with the goal of starting a small film company that could cover the stories that often fly under the radar of big media and larger production companies — the result of which was Real Life Cinema.
