DOCUMENTARIES
Below you will find a collection of my documentary work, including "Success Has An Address" and "MONDAY," where I took on roles as a producer, director, writer, and interviewer. Each project reflects a deep commitment to storytelling, capturing compelling narratives through research, creativity, and on-the-ground interviews.
"SUCCESS HAS AN ADDRESS"
Orangeville Prep Documentary
Role: Producer/Director/Writer
This 14-minute documentary explores Canada's 'hidden gem,' Orangeville Prep, focusing on the Junior and Women's basketball teams during the 2023-24 season. The storyline offers a historical perspective, reflecting on players like Jamal Murray, who helped put this program and small town on the map in the mid-2010s.
Fast forward to the present, the program has grown, expanded, and continued to flourish, helping Canadian basketball talent reach new heights.​
In my role, I conducted extensive research and played a key part in shaping the documentary’s narrative. From conducting interviews to guiding the storytelling process, I was deeply involved in every stage of production. I helped piece the documentary together through careful editing, ensuring a cohesive and compelling story that captured our vision.

Best Pitch
I helped construct a 23-minute documentary for a practicum project highlighting the long-standing rivalry between the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the Toronto Argonauts of the CFL with a focus on the annual 'Labour Day Classic.'
As a Co-Producer, Writer, and Interviewer for this project, I learned valuable lessons about collaboration, storytelling, and the importance of preparation in producing a compelling documentary. I was on-site for every shoot, meticulously crafting a step-by-step breakdown to shape the documentary’s look and feel. Through in-depth research, I engaged with players and personnel from both sides of the rivalry, ensuring a well-rounded perspective before bringing it all together into a cohesive story. This is a one-of-a-kind documentary that is looked at from a unique angle.
I'm ecstatic that our vision came to fruition over the past four months, and the film can be used as a portfolio piece.
