Short Films

As a filmmaker, it's best to have experience in all aspects of the craft. I have had my hands in nearly every aspect of filmmaking; from writing and producing to cinematograhy and directing to editing and poster design.  With my experience, I've learned that although building a solid skillset is essential, what's most important for me as a director is the story.  Without a good story, the techniques and skills that a filmmaker learns are useless.  Begin with a good story and tell it through visual composition, sound design, and good editing. 

 

Here's a list of some of the films I directed and other projects I've worked on over the years.  Video links are coming soon, but you can visit my demo reel for a taste of my style.
