His work as a filmmaker has produced critically acclaimed films like Woke (2017), which earned eleven festival awards for its insightful exploration of race in fraternities, Bipolart (2022), which marked his directorial debut, focusing on mental illness, and He They (2023) which explored his gender identity journey. His films are celebrated for their honest examination of internalized oppression related to race, disability, and gender and have been featured in film festivals in Atlanta, Miami, New York, Los Angeles, London, Cannes, among other cities worldwide. Active listening, inclusive communication, vulnerability modeling, sentiment analysis, and storytelling are a few skills Ronnie enjoys practicing in common between his roles as a Learning & Development professional and a documentary filmmaker.
