About

I graduated from Nyack College in NY with a film degree almost two years ago, and am currently working for a small media company, Sideshow Media Group. In the past three years, I've directed five short films, one feature length, and worked on several short pieces as a part of Sideshow. I enjoy directing, but I'm also partial to screenwriting, editing, and shooting my films.

My most recent film took home the Judges Award at the Through the Glass Darkly Film Festival presented by Tribeca Cinemas in NYC. In 2005 I edited and shot a short piece (Do You Love Me?) that took home gold at the 2005 Telly Awards. This past August I made the move with seven friends across the country from just north of NYC to just east of LA.

I believe that visual media is one of the most powerful forms of communication in the world. Films start trends; they begin and end eras. I'm a fan of honest storytelling, and I'm pretty sure that your beliefs are always evident in your art. I feel like more honesty-and less extravagence-is needed in Hollywood. The feature film industry's declining, frankly, because of a lack of originality; a lack of tangibility. Back in the late sixties, Bob Dylan said, "The times, they are 'a changin'". We should probably be keeping that up.

Activities... Things I Do?

I get up in the morning. I write. I shoot video. I edit video. I design motion graphics. I pray for the lost. I try and help those I can. I go on dates with my girlfriend Laura. I hang out. I go downtown. I miss New York. Sometimes I drink Guiness. I go

People I'd Like To Meet

People who love God. People who love people. People who aren't particularly in love with religion. People who love film and the idea of creating something from nothing.
