I directed the full first season of this talk show by guiding the hosts and cast (different for almost every episode) through the show both before and during the shoot. I worked with all experience levels of talent on this shoot and helped them feel comfortable while making sure we accomplish the needs of each section of the show. Along with working with cast I worked with the production designer, director of photography, and AD team to ensure the completion and quality of the shoot.

I have been shooting and editing the parties and weddings for many of Las Vegas' premiere families/organizations for a party planning company called Destinations By Design. Working with the creative director of DBD I have crafted these multiple day events into a feature length film for the recipient. Each film incorporates the style of the party and highlights the best and most cinematic parts of the event.

I initially worked on the film as assistant to the director. With the unique situation of the writer/director also taking on the role of DP, my responsibilities spanned greatly. I performed the typical assistant duties like communicating with all departments, organizing materials, accounting and transportation. But I also helped with frequent rewrites, cast relations/communication, creating a full video board in prep, and provided the evolving shot list for each day of production. In addition I helped with hiring key crew and local cast through personal contacts and even did 2nd Unit directing with the cast, stunt doubles and 2nd AD. During post, the director asked for my review of edits and to sometimes provide temp ADR for the producers’ screenings. After a lengthy post process, I was hired on as an editor of the film. Taking the film to picture lock, I led the creative endeavors of working with our composer, sound designer, and colorist. With a finished film four years later in 2018, I’ve been additionally promoted to co-producer as I continue to help with delivery.

I was an onsite editor for multiple keynotes per day. I also took over as lead editor to wrap up deliverables to linkedin lead editor the next week.

I edited roaming camera content and radio prize winner content

I edited this sunglasses commercial for Academy Award nominee director Jeremy Cloe. Working with Jeremy and clientele we crafted a youtube commercial that perfectly suited the intention of the shoot. We wanted to sell the story of the collaboration that made this line of eyewear possible as well as the lifestyle and personalities of the celebrity talent.

I worked with "Stranger Things" director Rebecca Thomas and producers to accomplish an ambitious shoot with effects, multiple locations, and minimal crew. We made our day each day with a happy crew and cast.

On FRANK & LOLA, starring Michael Shannon and Imogen Poots I started as Development Executive at Lola Pictures where I helped adapt the script from New York to Las Vegas. I also helped with casting, and built the extensive pre-production look book. I was then hired as assistant to the director, Matt Ross. Performing many of the typical assistant duties like communicating with all departments, organizing materials, accounting and transportation, I also built detailed photographic storyboards for each day, took many of the BTS shots used in promotion of the film, hosted cast and industry guests, and acted in two roles.

I wrote, directed and edited this fashion film for designer Jennifer Henry. Her brand FLOCKFLOCKFLOCK features alternative material couture and hired me to craft an artistic based around the beauty of her brand. Starting with the idea of disposable material I started the piece with a girl trapped in a very cold dark place that could then imagine herself in the most beautiful of places once she played an edith piaf song. Once there the fantasy was slowly taken away from her but instead of retreating she welcomes the unknown by going further into the darkness of the reeds. Using dual imaging, effective sound design and manipulation of the music we achieved our initial goal and told a very compelling and effectively branded story.

I shot and edited an artist profile on Brian Henry as he opened his show "Machina Ex Machina". I included graphics of his work and tied them in with dialogue to explain the complex theory in which the show was made.

I shot and edited a flashy promotion for brand FLOCKFLOCKFLOCK on a show they were doing for a non profit organization called Fashion For A Cause.

I edited this short film with the director. We ended up taking a non linear approach and liked the way it turned out. I also ended up doing the sound design/mixing on it as well.

I shot and edited premiere weddings for MLV as my first editor job before and after college. I would download all footage, convert it, edit a feature length video, trailer video, and highlight reel all set to fun music and cinematic featurettes.

I produced and acted in the absurdist film Walnuts by Director Ryan Leboeuf. Being a short film we made in college I did everything from crewing the film, to scheduling, budgeting and production design.

Produced the short film by helping craft the story on the page and in production.
