About Me
Colorist. Filmmaker. Teacher.
I have an equal passion for the technical and creative side of making beautiful images and telling a story through them. I am originally from Toronto, Canada and I am currently based in Prague, Czech Republic where I have a small studio dedicated to Color Grading.
I have worked on feature films such as Princezna 2 (Czech fantasy feature film), documentary feature film “Venezuela: Country of Lost Children” from Director Marc Wiese, and “Tanja- Up in Arms” by Director Marcel Mettelsiefen. I have also graded a large variety of shorts, music videos, commercials, and experimental films.
My main passion in color grading is finding the right look to tell your story. As a filmmaker myself- one of the best parts of the grading process is hearing about the process of making the film as well as the ideas and people behind it.
In the past, I have Directed and shot films that have had major success in the festival circuit. My short film “Supine” premiered at Bucheon, won the Melies D’Argent at Hardline film festival and competed at Sitges for the Melies d’or. I have also worked as the cinematographer of the feature film “Redux” (2022), which was shot in Iceland and was nominated at the Icelandic Oscars in 2023.
Long before I discovered the joy of color grading, I graduated from OCAD University’s drawing and painting program and worked mostly in ball point pen and other ink/ drawing mediums. I did my thesis year in the prestigious Florence Italy program- which was a part of OCAD University for many years. My thesis during this program evolved from drawing to a collaborative stop motion animation short film.
From then I decided to move more into the world of film. I enrolled in Prague Film School’s 2 year directing program and after graduating, I was hired to work in the editing department and teach at the school.
As of now (apart from freelance Color Grading) I am developing my own films, working on my video art techniques, and working as an associate professor at Prague City University. My second love is infrared photography, so when I’m not busy making colors look nice, I spend time making colors look weird and surreal!
