Opportunity Knocks was my thesis film I wrote and directed for film school. It is about a guy who loses his job but opportunity knocks and he finds an add for his dream job. He applies for the position and soon finds out that landing an interview is more than he bargained for.
I entered Opportunity Knocks into the Alpha Channel Film Festival and won best director award.
Carpool is a film I wrote and directed to enter into the Trop festival. It is a comedy about a man with a drinking problem.
The Tropfest is the worlds largest short film festival in the world. Filmmakers are given a key word or phrase that they must incorporate into their film. That year's word was "bagel". Unfortunately I did not make it into the finals but I did go to the festival in NYC which was hosted by Hugh Jackman.
Black Dagger was a short I directed for Quentin Tarantino's Django/Redbull contest. We were originally going to produce a 5 minute short but due to time constraints we put together this opening sequence for the short we intended to shoot.
Quentin was looking for some insperation for Django so he put together this contest. He gave all contestants 3 clips from old spaghetti westerns that inspired him to write Django. We were suppose to use the clips in some form or another.
This was not a traditional narrative film I am used to directing this was completely animation style directing. It was a great challenge but a ton of fun.
The contest lasted 8 days with people around the world voting for their favorite short. Out of 180 entries we ended up in 8th place. For 3 days we held on to the number one spot.
The Hole I wrote and directed for my experimental class. It stars me and my dog Copper. It's about a man who feeds his dog something other than dog food. It was a jump away from the comedies that I mainly write.
This is a project I did for YANY. They are a non-profit organization that brings high school students, that have lost their art programs due to budget cuts, in for a summer program in animation. Sony is the main sponsor for this program. I directed this segment I also lit and shot the interviews.
This is a commercial I was hired to shoot and edit. It aired in Idaho for a Sun Valley Opera event.
A film I directed for the 2015 24 hour film festival. Out of 220 worldwide entries we finished in 7th place. We had to write a film, produce the film, edit, sound design, complete video graphics and special effects within 24 hours. Our only parameters were that we had to use the theme of ultimatum, prop of a broom, and the action of biting in the film.
