Coming soon to a theater near you!

I've been looking forward to this for a long time, and I can finally say that Out of Print is getting a theatrical and VOD release!



I shot this documentary about how the digital theatrical experience is destroying the future of revival cinema. We talked to so many amazing filmmakers like Joe Dante, Mark Romanek, Rian Johnson, Kevin Smith, Edgar Wright... the list goes on. Really tremendous artists who love revival cinema, and love the New Beverly (the theater we focused on).

My goal was to match the visual style of each interview to that of the subject we were talking to. So, Edgar Wright got a very intense, stylized look in his interview. Stuart Gordon had a spooky tone to his, etc. What's funny was the unintentional "starfield" look we gave Rian Johnson, not knowing that he'd be picked to write and direct Star Wars three years later!

Anyway, I'm very excited about this project finally getting a release! It's been a long time coming and I can't wait to share it with the world.

"Driving Arizona" is now online!

Check out this episode from Driving Arizona, a web series I shot a while back:

This show was so much fun to work on; I worked with so many hilarious people. You can watch all four episodes here!

Dolby Interviews

I've been shooting some interviews for Dolby Laboratories lately, and getting to meet some fantastic directors and technicians. Here's the first one I shot for Deadpool!

"Piece of Cake" is now online!

A comedy short film I shot last year, Piece of Cake, is now on Youtube. If you like clowns and murder, you'll want to check it out!

"For the Love of Nothing" Now Online

One of my favorite projects I've worked on, For the Love of Nothing, is now on Vimeo to watch. It's a beautiful, tone piece based on Ray Bradbury's short story, The Last Night of the World.

"The Last Possession" nearing completion!

I spent almost a week in Austin with colorist Cory Berendzen finishing up the color on The Last Possession, a feature I shot outside Dallas last year.

I had a great time in Austin, even though I spent nearly all my time in a dark room at TBD Post. It was a great facility filled with awesome folks, so that made up for the fact that I wasn't out exploring and enjoying Austin more than I did.

I've spent the last few weeks going from Orlando, to Los Angeles, to Milwaukee, to Austin, and now on to Phoenix and New York. It's going to be a crazy season for me, and I couldn't be happier!

Adidas Commercial Online

I was visiting one of my favorite websites (cubs.com) earlier today and saw an Adidas commercial I shot last January on the front page!

Pretty rad!
