Hi there! I’m a Chicago-born film producer with a passion and background in music!
Though I’m currently trying to figure out how to navigate New York City, I also do a lot of cool things.
So if you’re curious, have a look around!

Who’s this Mad Lad?
Hi, I'm Tristan! I'm a “film maker” from Chicago, not just a filmmaker, but someone who does everything necessary to make a film happen. That's all to say that this has led me to success as a five-time short film producer. With a knack for creative problem-solving and always a commitment to whatever project I work on, I'm striving for a career in the realm of producing films. Some of my most recent projects were in other aspects of film production, including my short film directorial debut, The Rewinding of Alexander, for which I also wrote and composed the music.
My drive to create opportunities for filmmakers was at the forefront of my presidency of the Multicultural Filmmakers Collective at Northwestern University. Diplomatic in nature, I take skills from my other academic focus in political science to help me become a better producer and leader, navigating the ever-tricky interpersonal issues that occur in the filmmaking process. The spectrum of my interests seemingly ranges from roles, such as the Director of Photography of the short film Check Please, to writing an Honors Thesis on the Rise of the Far-Right in Catalonia. All in all, I am the man you want on your team, a unique problem-solver who sees projects through to the bitter end.
