I recently had the incredible opportunity to work in collaboration with a brilliant agency as the field producer and director for a segment of Hyundai’s promotional video for the 2024 Elantra and Sonata in Seoul, South Korea.
Filmed in a high quality studio against a green screen backdrop, the video aimed to showcase the sleek design and innovative features of Hyundai’s latest models. I wore multiple hats on this production, ensuring every detail was perfect. My role involved collaborating with experts in Seoul’s video production industry as well as working with the agency to ensure that all production needs were met. (more…)
Sometimes, last-minute decisions that don’t seem logical at the time can turn out to be some of the best choices you can make in life.

I am pleased to announce that the documentary The Show Must Go On has been released and is available on Apple TV. I’m really excited about this because I got my first credit as a Director of Photography / Cinematographer and it’s the first project that I’ve worked on that is featured on a major platform.

From the frontlines in Seoul, this film follows a company of artists involved in two theatrical productions–the World Tour of The Phantom of The Opera and the South Korean Tour of Cats–two of the productions that pushed ahead safely during the pandemic and helped show the way forward. “

I think it’s safe to say that the year 2020 has been a challenging year for most freelancers. For myself it was slow getting started due to the initial spike in confirmed covid-19 cases in South Korea, and then the spread around the world that followed shortly after.
Eventually at the end of April things slowly got started again and picked up through until November which I am grateful for. Some highlights for 2019: (more…)
