No Scars. No Stories.
There are wonderful, inspirational and troubling stories still untold that capture the essence of what's right, what's wrong, and what's weird about our society. I love bringing these stories to the forefront. I'm an obsessive researcher and a joyful traveler, 140 countries to date. That international experience gives me a unique perspective on cultural interactions. I live my life deeply, with full curiosity and engagement, and never in fear.
I am a screenwriter, documentarian, producer, filmmaker, actor.....yeah, yeah, yeah, the Hollywood Scramble.
I live and work in Los Angeles and Lisbon. I work on projects in the US, Portugal, Spain and England.
I've been honored to have been named:
