Shot in June 2008, ‘Invisible Men’ directed by Angela Tucker (Arts Engine Inc./BigMouth Films) are two shorts about Gregory and Andrew, two formerly homeless men from New York sharing their life stories. I shot it on Super8mm film in East New York and Brooklyn in an experimental narrative format. The projects are a part of Black Public Media’s Masculinity Project, funded by the Ford Foundation.

I got a last minute call in November 2007 to work as a cinematographer on a music video. The video was shot on Super16. When I walked onto the set, I realized that I was working with one of the finest cinematographers in the music video industry. It was nerve racking to say the least!

Some time ago, a friend had asked me to make a music video for a Jamaican reggaeton artist. Many months later, we put together this video for him. I worked as the director of photography and co-editor. It was shot on location in Boston and New York.
