Cinematic Design Reel

With over 40 films, and four years in the Video Game industry behind me, I have accumulated a decent selection of footage. Whether I was sitting behind the camera or keyboard, I shot everything on this reel (with the guidance of Directors and Designers, of course). In some cases, I had the opportunity to storyboard […]

In the Shadow

I recently learned that Jorge Sermini (actor/writer) and Nicole Elmer (writer/director) have completed their modern-thriller, In the Shadow. The first time I saw footage from the film, it blew me away with its thoughtful compositions and beautiful pallet. It is a true testament to the quality of filmmakers we have here in Austin. I feel […]

The short film, Flight of Magic, is about a hesitant elf who overcomes huge obstacles in order to save the holidays.

WW2 in Texas: Nimitz Promo Film

Most independent filmmakers would love to have access to a platoon of soldiers, a flamethrower, and working military vehicles. Talk about production value. In 2008, I got that opportunity when I was asked to produce a series of short films for the Nimitz Museum. The goal was to create, and launch an internet campaign that […]

Sawed Off: Storyboards

After years of working on film crews, I’ve must have heard hundreds of people talk about making their own movie projects and leaving the below-the-line ranks for good. It makes sense. Most of us had aspirations of becoming writers, or directors long before we signed up for our union cards. One of those crew members, […]

Relic From the Indy Abyss

Sadly, there are films on my resume that have never made it into the theater (or DVD). For whatever reason, these projects have faded away into the abyss of indy film obscurity, never to be seen by an audience. When adding up all the thought and effort that goes into their production, it’s hard to […]
