Founder - Bent Street Films LLC

Through my production company - Bent Street Films LLC - I freelance, both locally and internationally as a Cinematographer/Director. My film interests are centered around social issues that affect minority communities. Coming from a documentary background, I've since transposed my commentary skills towards the narrative film genre.

My film style is certainly a flare of neorealism & visual storytelling with a minimalist approach. Where the combination of performances, subdued colors and textures mixed with gritty locations are my instinctual first choices to paint my perspective of the story.

Irie Jam Media Group INC. afforded me the opportunity to be their first-ever creative director for their spanking new multimedia platform - Irie Jam 360. The app-based platform revolutionized their traditional radio entity into a vibrant and interactive new media enterprise.

Special Projects Coordinator - W&T George Group of Companies LTD.

W&T George Group of Companies Ltd. created the position of Special Project Coordinator due to my successful project proposals & implementations after having worked as an independent contractor for the company for 2 years. W&T George is the parent entity for 6 major brands in the Guyana business sector, spanning from health care to fast food. It was at this point that I honed my supervisory and managerial skills, along with my event planning and management skills.

My stint there enabled me to produce and market the companies' advertising campaigns and cultural entertainment initiatives. Verses & Flow became the most talked about television show in the entertainment sector in Guyana. The show was a spin-off of the live spoken word event - Upscale Poetry.
