Co-Founder
On My Block Films
United States
2012 - Present (12 years 10 months)
On My Block Films is a non-profit I co-founded in 2012 with Ryan O'Hara Theisen with the mission to create stronger neighborhoods through the creative and collaborative process of filmmaking. We believe knowing your neighbors is the biggest step you can take to improving your community overall, and we couldn't think of a better way to get to know strangers than on a film set.

We challenge you to meet your neighbors, and make a short 1-3 minute film together, shot entirely on the block that you live on, and using only your real neighbors as cast and crew.
