I am a filmmaker from Hawaii and I am know studying in the amazing country of Thailand!
In 2007 I had some success with my short "Max Caliber Hawaii P.I." on MTV. Since then I have just finished filming the full length Max Caliber movie in Hawaii, Taiwan, and Thailand.
I love filmmaking, traveling, and surfing. I have written & Directed 5 full length films in 6 years which have been played at film festivals and Hawaiian television. I have also directed over 60 Shorts. I like to experiment in all genres of film and always like to try something new.
