Working as a dancer, actor and filmmaker, he has performed and presented work around the world on stage, TV and in Cinema. Currently he is starring in Pia Marais' new feature film, Transamazonia, premiering in competition in Locarno and Amazon MGM Studio's new series, House of David, premiering Christmas Day.

He is currently in post-production on SONS OF DETROIT, a genre-bending documentary based partly on his childhood growing up in Detroit and recently completed the feature documentary THE BONES about the international dinosaur bone trade (CPH/DOX, Hotdocs, Sydney and DC/DOX). He has several narrative scripts including one set during the 2010 Detroit housing crisis (workshopped at the Cine Qua Non Labs) a septuagenarian coming of age story / environmental thriller and a Ladino cowboy movie.
