About Me

I'm a filmmaker and creative executive focused on identifying and managing talent and developing innovative concepts for TV, Film and digital as well as for branded content/ad campaigns. With my new company, MAKEMAKE Films, I function as an end-to-end executive producer (and occasionally director)—leading projects/films from ideation to production to delivery. I am also skilled in editorial work, new business development and I occasionally write travel features for major media outlets.

My specialties are: TV/Video Series Development, Documentary Filmmaking, Content Creation, Digital Editorial Strategy, Digital Video Strategy, TV & Film Production, Audience Development, Social Media Strategy.

On a personal note, I am married, live in Brooklyn and have a dog named Marco (who has his own Instagram feed: @lagotto_marco)

Me and our puppy Marco — who I feel looks a little like Snowy from Tintin, but sadly so far displays none of Snowy’s sleuthing abilities or strong interest in adventure. He’s still a big baby, though. I’m hoping to get him out of town and solving mysteries in French, soon! • • • #dogsofinstagram #lagottoromagnolo #brooklynrooftop
Lil’ Marco is soo pooped after running all over Brooklyn, being mostly adorable and making lots of new dog pals. #lagottoromagnolo #lamb #dogsofinstagram #brooklyn
I rarely return to a lodge/spot, but I loved the cloud forest and @mashpilodge so much when I swung through in 2017, Nathan and I decided to come back here for another look at the birds, snakes, frogs — and a dip in the waterfalls! • • • #cloudforest #quito #ecuador #travel #uniquelodgesoftheworld
Final shots (and videos) from our super fun Galapagos cruise 🦀🐢🐠👋 • • • #galapagos #ecuador #travel #silverseaexpeditions
So we stumbled on this somewhat rare juvenile Galapagos Hawk on the cliffs of Espanola, and if you’re interested in birds, swipe through to take a look at him taking off, chasing a booby and than coming back to land right next to me. He’s beautiful — and the booby got away... • • • #galapagosislands #birding #galapagoshawk #ecuador with my #nikon
Happy Valentine’s Day to my favorite travel companion/adorable husband 😘
