About Craig

I'm a New York based filmmaker with more than 10 years experience in the industry. For the last few years I've specialized in post-producing episodic documentary for Lonely Planet, and also have a long-standing background producing and editing narrative films. I've directed 6 films that have been collectively awarded at 18 domestic and international film festivals and my feature-film debut "The Drifter" has been acquired by distributor Terror Films for a worldwide digital release. My most recent endeavor was a mini-doc about a 9-year old motorcycle racing champion named Kayla Yaakov which broke 100,000 views in it's first 3 days:
