Dear Satan

This was my first short film. I collaborated with UAF Film Club. I directed, storyboarded, and edited it myself. I loved figuring out the special effects and lighting on this film. The script is so cute and charming.

A Night For Conversation

This was a UAF Department of Theatre & Film class production. This was the second department film I worked on. I was chosen by the faculty and director to be cinematographer. I had weekly meetings with the director and my camera department. I became very familiar with the script and storyboarded with the director. I worked closely with the production designers to communicate what would be on camera.

Red Flags

I worked on camera/lighting crew for this production. Did some EPK, helped where it was needed. This was another film club member’s script that we workshopped and help bring to production.

I scheduled the shoots and secured the locations. We used a Ronin gimble for the first time. In this scene where Jess … Read MorePromise

Nachtfaltermann

Nachtfaltermann is old German for “moth man”. I made this film for my German final. I wrote the script, directed it, and created the mothman costume and makeup. It was shot with a small crew on one very cold night. After the final shot, we found ourselves locked outside the apartment, Mackyle still in their mothman costume with the ripped shirt. That was the day we were all grateful I kept a spare key to my van tied under it, … Read MoreNachtfaltermann
