Iām an Emmy nominated, award winning documentary and commercial cinematographer and editor living in Brooklyn, NY. Within the broader scope of social justice, I focus on extremism, labor, protest and policing (and where they intersect). I excel at small team, story driven and verite filmmaking. I'm a Part 107 certified drone pilot.
I own Loroto Productions. I have a small post suite in Bushwick off of the Morgan L.
My shooting and editing work for documentary and reporting has appeared on HBO, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, The Intercept, More Perfect Union, Topic, Means TV and PBS. My documentary work with the Fund Excluded Workers coalition is, as of November 2021, on exhibit at MOMA PS1 in Queens. A film I edited, Flashpoint: Protests, Policing, and the Press, won the audience award for short documentary in May of 2024 at the Independent Film Festival Boston. A film I shot on, Slumlord Millionaire, won the audience award at DOC NYC in 2024 and my film produced with the Intercept and 100 Days in Appalachia, From Gaza to Ohio, played at Backyard Docs in Pittsburgh.
I've produced, shot and edited campaigns with Converse, Adidas, New Balance, Sofar Sounds and Aventon. I also have over ten years experience editing sizzle and case study videos for clients like Timberland, The North Face, Converse and Johannes Leonardo. In 2018, my producing work with Adidas won a Gold Clio. In 2024, my shooting work with Vox and Doritos won a Shorty and my shooting and editing work with Edelman and Allegra Airways won a silver Gerety.
