Recent Projects

From documentary work to commercial production, the recent projects have taken me across the country — working with brands, organizations, and communities that all have a story worth telling. Every project is different, but the approach stays the same: show up, figure it out, and make it look good.

Feature Films

The Spectacular Mind of McKenzie Banks — Feature Film, A self-produced, self-funded feature film three months in the making. Cinematography, audio, catering, location scouting, With an assistant director and a handful of PAs alongside me, we pulled together something that could stand on its own. And it did. The Spectacular Mind of McKenzie Banks premiered at the Colorado Short Circuit Film Festival in 2021 as the festival's feature premiere and walked away with an award on its first night out!

Osage Nation

Documentary Production

Traveled to Oklahoma to lead production for the Osage Nation's amended constitution initiative — a project centered around giving tribal members a direct voice in their government. Handled everything from lighting and camera to interview direction and on-site production, capturing the stories and perspectives that mattered most to this community.

Live Event

US Air Force National Character & Leadership Symposium

Ten years in and this one never gets old. Every February, the U.S. Air Force Academy hosts the National Character and Leadership Symposium — one of the most prestigious leadership events in the country — and for a decade I've been part of the crew making it happen. Over the years I've worn a lot of hats: camera operator, live camera switcher, stage lighting — whatever the production called for. The event has hosted some incredible speakers over the years, including Star Trek icon George Takei and Miss America 2nd Lt. Madison Marsh. It's the kind of project that reminds you why this work matters.

Special Kids Special Families

Commercial Production

Over four years of back-to-back production work with Special Kids Special Families and Archangel Productions, we built something worth being proud of. I wrote and produced a series of commercials for the organization that went on to win three Addy Awards — the advertising industry's benchmark for creative excellence. It's one thing to make something that looks good. It's another when the industry recognizes it too.

Knockout

Short Film

A 30-minute short film that punched above its weight. I came on as Director of Photography and Editor — two very different hats, but that's how good projects go. Across multiple production days I helped shape both how the film was captured and how it was ultimately told in the edit. The trailer went on to win an Addy Award, which was a solid stamp on a project that had a lot of heart from day one.
