04 / About
Hi, I’m Jeffrey.
I’m a 22-year-old filmmaker and editor in New York.
I like finding the personal detail that gives a video its pulse, then building the camera work and edit around it. I make short-form stories on my own and work with artists and crews on music videos and films. I’m looking for a full-time creative role in NYC.
