Most People Just Call Me ‘Doody’

But middle school wasn’t as rough as you’d probably expect.

I’m a Director of Development at Resilient Content, a production company under Sony Pictures Television – Nonfiction. With a passion for cinematography, I spend my spare time producing and shooting short-form content through my LLC, Heavy Doody Media, for clients such as Mizuno, the Zachor Holocaust Remembrance Foundation, John Legend’s Get Lifted Film Co., and UCLA, as well as short films and music videos for independent artists.

I began my career at Collins Avenue Entertainment, an unscripted television production company, where I earned my first television credit on Season 8 of Dance Moms. While assisting two high-volume executives, I designed and wrote pitch decks for the development department and created my own competition format that was later pitched to CBS, History, and the Science Channel.

I went on to become the second employee at Catalina Content, an NBCUniversal/Sky-backed production company. Within months, I was promoted from Development Coordinator to Manager, and later to Director of Development. Over my four years at Catalina, I played a key role in ten projects that received network development deals, including The Mighty Underdogs, which received a series order from Discovery+. I also developed, directed, and shot a network presentation commissioned by Lifetime.

At Resilient, I developed and shot the sizzle for Acres of Skin, a limited documentary series that follows survivors of the Holmesburg Prison experiments and explores the dark history of the skincare product Retin-A. The project—currently being pitched—marks Resilient’s first television project in the marketplace. Regardless of whether a buyer is secured, I’m committed to producing the film independently, with equity shared alongside a nonprofit supporting the surviving victims. I’m also developing the recently announced JoJo Siwa docuseries, which is slated to be pitched later this year. In response to shifting market trends, I’m leading Resilient’s efforts to expand its slate with brand-funded unscripted series. My long-term goal is to run my own television production company.

I’ve produced video content for:

Not all of my projects make it onto my reel. If you would like to see some of my older (and pretty rough) projects:
