about hope

Award-winning cinematographer, director, video advisor for Obama, Warren, Biden, and Harris campaigns, Director of Video, Senior Advisor and Principal Videographer for the White House Office of Digital Strategy for Obama and Harris.

After my last day on the best job ever (as Obama’s Videographer), I created a sabbatical in the form of a speaking tour (and developed this mindset handout), which took me everywhere from a surprisingly raucous hospice wing in Marlborough, NZ, to an inspirational time with Google Brand Studio, and 18 months' worth of stops in between.

 

While going lateral in that epic chapter, I embarked on a personal project, which I called ‘Visit the Visionaries,’ tracking down inspirational people at the intersection of art, social justice & tech. Soon thereafter, my freelance life as a documentary cinematographer and filmmaker ramped back up, with projects ranging from independent features to episodic tv to campaign videos. I also contributed a chapter to the book "West Wingers," released in 2018. Then, I had the best jobs ever 2.0, first as Senior Advisor for Video & Senior Road Videographer for Elizabeth Warren 2020, then for Team Biden as Director & Cinematographer for Mobilization Ads in Pennsylvania and the Presidential Inaugural Committee! Most recently I was on team OVP at the White House, as Director of Video and Videographer during transition through August 2022, then on her 2024 campaign as Principal Videographer and Senior Advisor for Videography. I am now balancing my freelance life to include a fair share of my performing and visual art collaborations in addition to the social justice work, while organizing with and caring for my community.  More...

visionaries

My long-term project, called “Visit the Visionaries,” involves seeking out the folks who inspire me, whatever their medium, at the intersection of art, social justice, and tech.

mindset

After a few decades of developing these mindset tools and offering them up to students, mentees, and friends alike, I put them all down on one page and created this handout.
