Work

This page is devoted to the independent projects I have been involved in. If you are checking this site because you are interested in hiring me for something and would like a detailed resume, complete with industrial videos, commercials and production jobs on larger projects, please e-mail me. But these are the projects I am proud of and reflect the direction I am moving in creatively.

SHORT FILMS 

A BEAUTIFUL DAY FOR A DAYDREAM (Editor - 2007) 

 

Daydream

A Beautiful Day For A Daydream is my most recent project with director Shogo Nakagawa. The film was shot in Japan and edited in Austin, TX. Several hard drives racked up lots of frequent flyer mileage. Due to some problems with the investors, I’m unsure if this one will every see the light of day, but the final cut was a cute piece of romantic pop. This was a good warm-up for Love Minus Zerowhich will be our first feature produced entirely in Japan. (More Info.) 



ROADSIDE GOSPEL (Editor - 2007)

 

Roadside Gospel

Roadside Gospel is a documentary directed by Kate Stryker. It follows the journey of Mike Pierce, a preacher and musician, as he carries an enormous cross on his back. He makes the pilgrimage from Houston to Austin every year and this year Kate followed him with a camera. Look for it at film festivals, I’m pretty proud of it. (More Info) 


EXILE (Co-Producer, Assistant Director & Editor - 2006) 

 

Exile

Exile is the third film in a thematic trilogy of atmospheric Japanese art films shot in the white trash wastelands of Oklahoma directed by Shogo Nakagawa. 



CLOUD SYMPHONY (Assistant Director & Editor - 2004) 

 

Cloud Symphony

WINNER: Best Cinematography 2005 MicroCinema Fest 

Cloud Symphony is a beautifully photographed, very atmospheric short film. To my knowledge it’s the only Japanese language art-film produced in Oklahoma. This was directed by my frequent collaborator Shogo Nakagawa and I served as Assistant Director and Editor. In many ways, this is the project that really got the ball rolling. After this we began to move away from experimental short films and decided to focus more on narrative projects that not only looked good but that would be compelling to an audience.


MUSIC VIDEOS

 

MICROVISION (Co-Producer, Assistant Director & Editor - 2005) 

American Boyfriends - Microvision music video

A music video for the Oklahoma City band AMERICAN BOYFRIENDS. Lesson learned from this project: MiniDV and greenscreen are not friends.
