"Perfect"

In this short film, I served as one of the Co-Producers and also as the Gaffer or Chief Lighting Technician on set. After months of planning, Perfect was shot over two days. I was proud that this film allowed many exemplary students to learn about the craft of filmmaking in significant roles. It is now on the film festival circuit and premiered this year at the Hollyshorts festival at the Hollywood Chinese Theater.

"The Last Tear"

Coming soon. I served as one of the Co-Producers, as well as Gaffer and Camera Operator, on The Last Tear. Over two days, we shot a film where exemplary students could learn the craft in real, responsible roles.

"Surprise"

I wrote, directed, and edited this short film. Surprise was screened at several film festivals around the country.

"Mutiny on the Bayou"

I served as cinematographer on this half-hour documentary about a historical event that helped shape the city of Houston, Texas. I was awarded a Telly Award for my lighting and camera work on this project.

"Hope After Harvey"

I served as cinematographer on this project that would serve to help inspire Houstonians to stand up and work to help their neighbors and work to rebuild the city of Houston after a devastating Hurricane. I was nominated for an Emmy award and received a Promax award for my work on this project.

"One Dollar Difference"

I served as cinematographer on this project that was inspired by an anonymous internet story. This film was screened at many festivals around the country and won several awards.

"News Promos"

I’ve spent nearly 30 years in television, writing, directing, shooting, and editing thousands of commercials and promos for major-market stations across the U.S. Most recently, I served as Creative Director for a Southern California station group for 13 years.
