My reel includes work for clients like Peaceable Kingdom, G. Hensler, and RivalMe! Trivia. As well as commercial work, I film documentary and fiction. My recent project, Unorganized Crime: the Law and Disorder Story, a documentary about the SF Examiner’s crime page, is in post-production.

My byline has appeared in IndieWire, TechHive, BYTE, SF Appeal, and SF Weekly. Past copywriting clients include Barack Obama 2012, University of Pheonix, and Bigpoint.

This is a short digital video I made for Peaceable Kingdom, a company that makes kids board games. This version of “Count Your Chickens” riffs on the original, showcasing talented Elyse Price’s “Yenta” narration. This was a bonus to the client and doesn’t appear on their official YouTube channel. You can watch the original here.

This short film is part of a series that presents brand definition in motion pictures.

A 60 second spot for Paul D. Blumer’s novel Death or Quarter.
