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 […]

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
