I’m very happy to say that I’ve just wrapped a new promo shoot for Flatrate Movers and SASS Global! It’s the first spot that I’ve directed for 24DP (Agency) and I had a blast! The creative was really great — we shot a bunch of snowboarders (dressed in full winter gear) on the beach to [...]

For more info and behind-the-scenes stuff on STRAIN, be sure to check out [...]

I made these graphics for the Behind The Scenes videos of my upcoming short film, STRAIN! They’re just some simple titles to bookend our crazy making-of adventures (stay tuned)!! PS: The placeholder video is some stuff I shot of Jen on the beach, about 5 years ago!

I just updated the Words section of my site with some new Ad Creative! I recently pitched to direct a SONY spot featuring music artist, Bryan Ellis.
