Programming alongside the best

Watching 1000 films a year is routine for me.

It is an esteemed honour to sit on the programming team for numerous Academy-Award qualifying festivals. Curating for film festivals and airlines offers a unique view on the world. My aim is to spark conversations through the power of film; below are the organizations I’ve worked with.
