FILMMAKER:

Director | Producer Editor | Camera | Sound

Working in television at MTV Networks by day while DJing in downtown New York clubs by night, it was music that sparked Greg's interest in filmmaking when he began to follow London’s burgeoning Grime scene, a musical movement created by kids in the city’s public housing complexes. Inspired to capture Grime’s DIY, working-class stories on camera he relocated to London in 2006. There he documented Grime artists and created content for MTV UK.

Since returning to New York in 2010, Greg has directed, produced, shot and edited a wide range of documentary content for outlets such as Salsoul Records, New York Cider Association, Facebook and PBS. From 2016-18, he worked as a producer/editor at S&P Global. From 2018 to 2019, he was Senior Multimedia Producer for Okayplayer and OkayAfrica.

In 2020, Greg started Sunset People, a production house that tells stories about music, art and culture. He is currently producing and directing the fine art doc series James Cohan Features. He is also directing The Sound of Toys, a documentary film about Casio keyboards coproduced by Saboteur Media and Mass Appeal.
