Hi, I’m Barak.
I believe that every project, every role, and every chapter of my life are parts of the same creative journey.
When approached with joy, curiosity, and purpose, the path tends to form an upward spiral. It never quite leads where you thought but closer to where you want to be.
I'm here to share this journey with others as we bring our ideas and dreams to life.

Growing up in Tampa Bay, Barak had three pillars in his life: comedy, art, and the ministry. He spent his 20s combining his love for performing and his Christian faith, first as traveling evangelist/comedian and later as a pastor outside Oakland, CA. He was living the dream, combining what he loved with what he was good at and made him a better person. His congregation grew as people were drawn to his passion for teaching the love of God as creatively as he could.
However, as Barak lost his faith, he left the ministry and moved to LA to pursue his Hollywood dreams and all its creative challenges, learning the world of acting, writing, art directing, producing and directing. In the years since, Barak realized that these different aspects of his journey were all connected by a love of the creative process, and the desire to share it with others.
