Make complexity clear.
Translate ambitious creative and operational needs into workflows that people can understand, trust and scale.
Hello, I’m Derrek.
I make ideas
move forward.
I’m a filmmaker, production leader and curious technologist who likes turning ambitious ideas into something real.

A little more about me
Story, people and technology have always been part of the same picture for me.
For more than 15 years, I’ve worked where storytelling, production and technology meet—from sets and post-production rooms to visual-effects leadership on major film and episodic projects.
I’m happiest connecting people, solving the problem in front of us and making the path from creative idea to finished work clearer.
I also direct and produce my own projects. Staying close to the craft keeps every system, schedule and decision grounded in what the story actually needs.
How I work
Creative ambition.
Operational clarity.
Connect the room.
Bring artists, technical teams, vendors and decision-makers into a shared view of the work and what must happen next.
Stay close to the craft.
Use production experience to test every system against the realities of the people who will actually depend on it.
Technology & experimentation
Curiosity with a production mindset.
I explore AI, automation and emerging tools for one reason: to give creative teams more room to think, collaborate and make better work.
The test is simple. Does it solve a real problem, fit the way people work and earn their trust?

Always in development
The next idea is rarely far away.
There’s always another film, commercial or creative experiment taking shape. I’m looking for the collaborators and opportunities that can help the strongest ideas become real.
