I just recently took a position as a contributing writer for the Santa Monica Mirror weekly publication. I was brought on to write as the film review columnist starting in October. You can check out my column online in the Life&Arts section or pick up a copy of the paper if you happen to be in the Venice/Santa Monica area. Check out the Santa Monica Mirror.

Check out Don Murphy’s Angry Films. Been interning here for a few months, some rad projects being shelled out!

Been doing a few freelance shoots here and there working G&E and camera PA. Keep an eye out for Tom Jones documentary coming soon…

Worked a grip gig for writer/director Lily Amirpour’s short “True Love” (check out Lily’s website). Professional crew and cast; very efficient shoot. Shot on the RED One by DP Topher Osborn. Thanks for everyone’s help and hope to work with you soon!

Grip/Electric job working with UPM Penny Styles of Small Potatoes Productions. It was a month long production for director/writer/producer Vince Williamson’s independent feature. We shot on location in Big Bear, Ca with cinematographer Jeremy Obertone’s RED. Great crew and cast!

PA job working on a T-Mobile commercial with director Sam Green.

DP Aaron Meister’s edited Vitamin Energy spec commercial.

I got an iPhone a month or two ago and have been snapping shots here and there. The camera is decent, but there is an app that applies filters for a cool effect. Here’s a few recent examples:
