"The camera is arguably one of the most important of all inventions… it is the single tool that has the ability to stop time, record history, generate art, tell stories, and communicate messages that transcend language like nothing else ever conceived." - Jim Jannard
I'm a storyteller at heart, drawn to uncovering emotionally driven stories wherever they live. My work has taken me across the glaciers of Iceland, through the rice paddies of South Korea, into the bustling bazaars of Istanbul, and along the café terraces of Paris. Those journeys have instilled in me a deep appreciation for the world's diverse cultures... and, along the way, earned me three Emmy nominations and eight Telly Awards!
I'm currently based in Los Angeles, where I work as a union film editor with IATSE Local 700. My craft lives in post-production — from editing and VFX to motion graphics and 3D design. I've had the privilege of collaborating with Oscar-nominated producers and directors on projects that have found a home on Netflix, Amazon, Apple TV, and Roku. Beyond film, I'm also immersed in the web3 and crypto ecosystem, where I've produced visual content for a range of pioneering blockchain apps.
I'm always excited to connect with creative teams who share my passion for meaningful, visually driven work. Let's chat if you have something in mind! - SM
This is a curated sample of video/motion work produced for various web3 ecosystems, including Ethereum, Polygon, Sonic Labs, SUI, Arbitrum, and Binance Chain. I have a keen understanding of the DeFi landscape, so feel free to contact me for your blockchain related design needs!
