ABOUT:
Undergrad degree from Pepperdine University in Theatre Directing and a Film Directing degree from the Los Angeles Film School. Years of indie film in L.A. and then Austin, TX where I currently live with my wife and daughter. Written/Co-Written 4 feature screenplays (2 produced), produced 3 features, 1 TV pilot, 1 Full length stageplay, 100+ media projects for companies and organizations and was the Director of Photography for 1 feature. Also the co-founder of Matter Media Studios.
Why:
I’m driven by the idea that story both challenges and fulfill us… Writing is great, but in the end it’s nothing until it’s produced – so I also need other people. And I love working with people that become a dysfunctional family all driving towards some crazy end in a relentless medium that can’t be done alone and needs people from all walks of life to bring it to fruition. I also like coloring on the floor with my daughter.
News:
BINDLESTIFFS, a hilarious film I helped produce, took home the coveted Audience Award for Best Feature at the 2012 Slamdance Film Festival, and has been picked up for distribution by Kevin Smith’s new label over at Phase 4! I directed a silly little web series called “Broken Bonds” that is showing at the LA Web Fest. My other award winning film, AN ORDINARY FAMILY, that I co-wrote and produced with Mike Akel (director of Chalk) will release digitally in June 2012. DRAGON DAY, which I co-wrote with Jeffrey Travis (director of Flatland), produced and was the director of photography for is nearing completion of post production.
