Producer, writer, editor

I was tasked with producing this music video in the early fall. The concept for the video revolved around a carnival. The fair/festival season was coming to a close in middle TN so there was no place in the state for us to shoot. While we were able to get some b-roll at the last fair in the state in order to deliver the concept, I designed and built a carnival set. We built a Ferris wheel, a funhouse of mirrors and a quicksand pit in a warehouse in North Nashville, then transported all of the set pieces to a warehouse in Murfreesboro that I was able to secure for the shoot at no cost. I managed the production cast and crew of nearly forty people. I provided crafty and was responsible for wardrobe, hair and make-up. I was responsible for the wrap book and all of the accounting and reconciliation as well as the deliverables. This video spent several weeks in CMT’s Top Ten and two weeks at #1.

I produced this commissioned Civil War documentary where there were over one-hundred cast and crew members as well as livestock and served as production liaison between Travellers Rest, Executive Producer. Not only did I produce, I assisted in the research and writing of the script, was responsible for 90% of the on-screen casting, finding, recording and editing all of the audio and voice-overs. As sound designer, I researched and selected the PD music, hired Grammy Award winning musicians to record the songs making it an original soundtrack and was responsible for securing additional funding for the recording of the music. I conceived of having Gov. Haslam provide the prologue, convinced him to do it and wrote the script he read. I was responsible for the artwork and cover design of the DVD. I was responsible for all of the requisite releases, clearances/licenses and permissions. It is now showing in the TR Museum.
