"Primal Fluidity" is a short film that was written, produced, directed, and edited by myself during the 2015 academic year at Oshkosh. Additionally, I lead a tight-knit crew to help guide sound design, cinematography, and musical composition in a direction that matched the tone of the film I wanted to achieve.

Responsible for: establishing film's cinematic look, aspect ratio, filters, camera/gear selection, drawing up lighting schemes, and instructing crew on set.

"Descension" is a short film I created during the 2014 academic year at the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh. My work on the film included: casting my own actors, dressing the set, lighting every scene, directing actors and crew, cinematography, editing, color grading, sound design, and distribution after it was all finished.

"Paradox Division" was a six episode Titan TV series, which was a massive undertaking and required a lot of prep work. My duties included: aiding in set design for proper vfx, all post vfx editing, some general editing, overseeing the editing teams and meeting tight weekly deadlines.

"Pinpoint" was a PSA (Public Service Announcement) written by me and filmed later during the 2013 academic year. Beyond writing the PSA, I attended casting meetings, helped coordinate on set actors, oversaw script continuity, and also lead in teaching an assistant editor how to properly edit the final product.

My duties on Retrograde Motion included: overseeing writing of the script, correcting spelling errors, organizing shooting dates/production budget, setting up the food break areas, and jumping in to act for a part when one of the other actors was ill.
