Writing + Directing

I love crafting films. Storytelling through writing, casting, directing. Getting into the minutiae of editing, sound design, and effects work. It's a passion of mine and something I enjoy sharing in whenever budgets are tight and/or the opportunity presents itself.

F&M Trust: Life is Money

I co-wrote, directed, and oversaw post-production on this campaign of :30 television and :15/:06 cutdown online videos for the delightful people at Pavone.

NETFLIX: Cobra Kai IV

I directed an online teaser for the 4th installment of this Emmy-nominated cult classic. And yes, Thomas Ian Griffith looks just as intimidating in person.

Porsche: Break Squeal

I worked directly with the client on this project: writing, directing, and overseeing the post/CGI work. It’s the most successful film I’ve been a part of directing, as it’s done wonders for the brand's bottom line, while changing dealer technicians and car enthusiasts' perceptions around break squeal. Here's the case study.

Starburst: Original Fruit Chews

Working on Starburst, while at DDB, I came up with the campaign idea “Unleash the Juicy.” My boss loved it. But unfortunately for me, the client went a different direction. Still, I liked this particular script I’d written. So, I decided to produce it with the help of some great friends and incredibly gracious local vendors.

Doritos: Infinite Doritos

A friend of mine (EVP of production at Filmworkers) and I came up with this commercial, which I wrote/directed, and he produced for submission in Dorito’s final Crash the Super Bowl Contest. We didn't end up winning the on-air time slot or the $1MM prize money, but we did have a hell of a good time making it.
