Ran broadcast camera from paddock, finish line and winner's circle for the 2019 season at Mile High Racing (horses). Duties included basic cable setup/management and basic image control- WB, exposure, etc.

A John Carpenter Homage for a class at CU Boulder. Worked without a dedicated DP, sharing duties with an actor/gaffer, as everyone in the crew also had an acting role. Still successfully pulled off a unified vision.

Grillo Award-winning student film at CU Boulder. Three shooting days, and regular pre-production meetings about the script, shot list, and equipment plan.
