"My mission is to launch, manage and expand a small business that I am excited about.  Creating short videos
for small San Francisco businesses utilizes my skills as a filmmaker and is at the forefront of web-based marketing. My primary goals are to create a leading web-based video business, have fun making short films, and lead the wave
of new media."
