Corporate FM
(Film-maker, Director of Photography)
​
This issue had bothered me ever since the rock station in my home town flipped formats after Rolling Stone voted it in the top 10 in the nation. I never felt there was a really thoughtful explanation for the flip. So I made a movie and uncovered something much bigger than I anticipated.

Girls State
(Sound Mixer)
The joy of doing sound is that you get to hear a more complete story. In this case I heard the story of Toschi and Nisha as they navigated the surreal camp of Girls State. Their stories are woven into a larger film crafted by husband and wife team Jesse Moss and Amanda McBaine.
Available on Apple TV.
Dirty Money: "Pay Day"
(Location Sound Recordist)
There was no lighting department on this job, so in addition to location sound, I helped DP Thorsten Thielow achieve some chiaroscuro looking interviews that I'm very proud of. It was also fun to deal with such a sensitive topic.
Directed by Jesse Moss, Edited by David Moyes, EP Alex Gibney.
Hallmark "Squawkin"
(Director of Photography, Codirector)
I wasn't going to put this on my site, but I noticed that people always watch it twice. It was fun to light the colored background and urge kids to be crazy. Can you tell I put a mic on the chicken? Written and Codirected by Trevan McGee. Edited by Andy Miriani.

Perfect Union: Worked to Death
(Director of Photography)
The people in this video didn't have time to visit friends and family because their base pay was so low. This allowed Frito-Lay to not feel any pinch when their works went into overtime. So they intentionally put them into overtime to avoid paying health benefits to a larger swath of employees. Frito-Lay just ran the few employees they had to death.
