Hi, I'm Safari, a filmmaker and Virtual Production professional with a love for film and storytelling. My expertise is in cinematography, lighting, and art direction has allowed me to be part of projects like "The Mandalorian" seasons 1,2,3, "Antman and the Wasp: Quantumania", and "Ahsoka".

Coming from VFX Ive gained insight for creating photorealistic environments and characters, which Im able to translate into real-time for virtual scouting, purposeful visualization, and ICVFX. And over the past 6 years Ive project managed a dozen large scale, fast-paced projects with an agile mentality, collaborated with 15 directors of photography, 20 directors, 6 production designers, and co-designed more than 250 sets.

I look forward to connecting with you. Whether it's to discuss creative challenges, share insights into virtual production, or simply to chat about our shared passions. I'm here to engage, learn, and explore the possibilities of our craft.
