crafty since 2008
Raised in the east, matured in the west, I bring a perspective and style that is at once cosmopolitan and country. I have a degree in history, I was a carpenter for awhile, and then I got a masters in filmmaking. I love old houses, dogs, and growing tomatoes.
As an award winning writer/director, with extensive experience in project management and production, I can jump in at any point in your project, from helping you craft your message to putting the right team together to deliver a finished product on time and on budget, to shooting and editing..
Both a team leader, and a team member, I’m confident in my vision, but willing to talk about it. I’m quick with a clever solution to creative challenges or the inevitable hiccups that come with any production.
CASE STUDIES
Renwood Winery: Worked with the client to clarify what they wanted to say, and how they wanted to say it. Shot b-roll for a day on the grounds, but hired a cinematographer and sound recorder for the interview day, so I could focus on directing and producing. Handled the majority of post production.
Carhartt: Spec. Created the concept and wrote the voice over. A re-edit of my award winning short film The Fenceline, that I wrote and directed, working with a crew of 20 plus people and actors. Post production.
Hoka: Spec. Wrote, directed, edited and produced. Yes, I was running all over the place.`
