For ten years, I worked as a Senior Video Journalist at The New York Times with a focus on culture and politics.

I wrote and directed videos about everything from the mechanics of U.S. Elections to the creative process of fashion designers to the discovery of a forgotten American masterwork.

I also showran series like Diary of a Song and Dance in the Real World, that took innovative approaches to telling stories about music and culture today.

My directing work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Stereogum, and Spin.

I am the director of two documentaries: Bombay Movie (2014) and The Martyrs Were Lucky (in post-production) and am currently at work on a screenplay.
