What I do

Four ways to work together

Directing

Short films, music videos and narrative ads, from script to festival.

I take a project from script to screen: casting, shot lists, running the set and seeing it through the edit and out to festivals. Elevator won Best Film and Best Directing at the 2025 Hampton Roads 48 Hour Film Project.

ExamplesAll films and music videos

Commercial

Ads and brand video for small businesses, with cut-downs for social.

Ads and brand films for businesses in Hampton Roads that want their video to look like a film, not a template. I direct and shoot, and every project comes with cut-downs sized for Instagram and TikTok.

ExamplesAll commercial work

Cinematography

Camera, lighting and grip, with my own package on hand or to rent.

I shoot for other directors on a Sony A7S III or a Blackmagic PYXIS 6K, and I bring my own lighting and grip package. The same kit is available to rent.

Editor

Cut, colored and finished in DaVinci Resolve.

I edit in DaVinci Resolve, and Elevator won Best Editing at the 2025 Hampton Roads 48 Hour Film Project. I can cut what I shoot, or take footage from your crew and finish it.

  1. 01
    The cut

    I build the edit around the story and the performances, and I keep it tight.

  2. 02
    Color

    Graded in DaVinci Resolve so every shot matches and the look fits the film or the brand.

  3. 03
    Notes

    You review the cut on a private page, leave notes on the exact moment, and approve it there.

  4. 04
    Delivery

    Every version you need, from the festival master to vertical cuts for Instagram and TikTok.

Kind words
He listened to what I wanted and asked all the right questions … He turned around the video in less time than quoted … I worked on live events for over 30 years and I know a professional when I see one.

Talking with short filmmakers

I interview filmmakers from around the world about how their short films got made: the money, the crew, the mistakes and the wins.

If you made a short film and want to talk about it, send it my way.
