Call me NEF

My journey into filmmaking didn't start in a studio—it started in a cinema seat in LA in 1977, watching the original Star Wars come to life at the Chinese Mann Theatre.

While I spent nearly three decades in law enforcement and several years in academia as an instructor, the storyteller in me never went quiet. Those 27 years on the force gave me a front-row seat to the most raw, honest, and complex human stories imaginable. That real-world experience is what I bring to the lens today: a unique eye for detail and a deep understanding of the people behind the images.

I’ve spent my life capturing moments on film, writing scripts, and helping businesses and organizations produce professional content with my off duty time. These days, I’m "cashing in" on that lifelong passion, devoting my full energy to personal projects and selective collaborations.

I don’t take on every project that comes my way. I only step in when I feel a genuine connection to the vision. If I know I can tell your story with the heart, honesty, and imagination it deserves, let’s talk.
