Check out my latest reel, featuring footage from projects I have worked on over the last few years.  One of my favorite parts of my job is the variety.  I get to film so many different things, from cows on organic farms for a documentary, to a Boston-based rock band for a music video, to little orange robots for a trade show video. I always try to look at things in a unique way, bringing a fresh perspective to my projects.

Life on the Farm

This summer I have been spending quite a bit of time surrounded by chickens, pigs and cows.  Lots of cows.  No, I have not traded in my camera gear for tractors and pitch forks (although I have been up before the sun on several occasions).

A friend and producer I work with quite a bit, Paul Dewey, was hired by filmmaker Kristin Canty to work on her documentary film, “Farmageddon”, and I joined him as director of photography.  This documentary is taking a look at the government’s over-regulation of our food and basically having too much say in what goes into our stomachs.

Our Spirit

Now that I have my new blog and website up, I want to look back on a job I did a few months ago.  This was a short, scripted video for a non-profit organization called Our Spirit.  Our Spirit is a web-based spiritual resource for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer) youth.  It was founded by a friend of mine, Robert Guthrie, who is (among other things) a screenwriter who I have worked with on three short films over the last 10 years.

This video, entitled “I Like”, is going to be used as part of the site and organization launch later this fall.  Robert had the script a while back, and we discussed several visual treatments for the piece.  Read more…
