He has experience in most departments of motion picture production, design & post production. William is available to work as a Production Designer, Art Designer, Storyboard Artist, or whatever else may arise. He is currently writing & directing his own short films, music videos, commercials & some other things that can't be disclosed to simple folk like yourself. I believe that the audience should feel like they're apart of the film that they're viewing & he attempts to make this apparent via the aesthetic feel of the set. "A good production will take your emotions there. Filmmakers either get it or they don't. You can like film, love film, or be addicted to it. I'm hooked."
