MEDIA&TECH
I have worked in the broadcasting, media and indie film industry passionately my entire life. Using the camera to capture, translate and edit image and sound into an emotive and human experience whenever I can is extremely gratifying. Sharing it is that much more. I also have spent significant time on the technical side of media- from broadcast automation systems to advertising delivery technologies.
AUTOMOTIVE VIDEOS
In this "Guerrilla style" film project, I followed Echo Tescier, a hot rod builder in LA for three days with a camera and microphone. From his roofless back alley shop, he turns out beautiful hot rods, both shiny and "rat rods." His minimalist lifestyle is dedicated to building and driving fast cars which he sells. Echo knew he wanted a video that would promote his small business. I knew that his personality was as equal to his mechanical and artistic skills, so I shot this as a character study, exposing Echo as a person you want to do business with as well as hang out with in the shop. His dedication to his craft as well as the care and passion he puts into every project was important to capture on video.

DOCUMENTARY
LA artist Daniel Kaufman has been creating celebrated fine art for over four decades, yet still lives as the quintessential "starving artist." His most famous works are encaustic paintings made from melting crayons. Despite creating hundreds of amazing, highly celebrated works of art, Daniel struggles every day to achieve fame and retrieve the true value for his creations.
The Bardo is the Tibetan term for the intermediate state or gap we experience between death and our next rebirth which Daniel struggles with daily.
I felt compelled to produce a documentary about this interesting artist's efforts every day to create, market and sell his work made with talent, love and passion.
The question the film tries to answer: What DOES it take for a truly great artist to finally make it BIG?
