Owner

I believe over 15 years of experience as a writer, director, shooter, editor, and producer has equipped me with not only the needed discipline and technical know-how, but also a deep understanding of effective story telling, teamwork, deadlines, and budgets.  I have worked on a wide range of projects catering to different industries and organizations and realize and appreciate that different demographics/audiences require different approaches when it comes to getting your message across visually.  I love stories.  I have the ability to find a good story in almost all situations and I'm a great visual story teller.
I own and operate my own HD Non Linear Editing workstations (both Mac and Windows) and Full frame DSLR (and many production accessories and a host of plug ins for video and photography post production).  
I am passionate about learning more effective ways to communicate visually, find better technical workflows, and increase my knowledge and awareness of the latest trends in technology.  
I can lead a team just as easily as I follow directions.  I stay focused yet remain open and even encourage workable suggestions.

- Produced, Directed, Shot, Edited, Encoded, and Uploaded just over 100 Promotional, Corporate, Music, and Instructional videos, as well as Documentaries such as “Beyond Words” which I wrote, directed, shot, edited, and produced.  It screened at Arclights Hollywood for a week and has sold thousands of DVDs. It was also the official selection at 7 major international film festivals including The International Documentary Association's INFACT and Austin Film Festival.
Most everything I help create is now uploaded to a distribution channel online (YouTube, Vimeo, etc.).
