The Backstory I was hired as a creative director at OgilvyEntertainment— the branded content arm of OgilvyNY. Writing story treatments, interview questions, paper edits, and collaborating closely with clients on the story they wanted to tell. After a few months, I got the opportunity to fly to Vietnam to direct a documentary about a town without electricity. It changed my life. Ogilvy created a position for me as in-house filmmaker, pulling double duty as creative director/director. I’ve made films in eighteen countries and counting. In 2022 I became a rostered director and freelance creative.
