Dixieland
After his regiment is destroyed, a Black Union physician flees into the Virginian woods, stumbling on a Confederate soldier hiding in a cave; they share a fire, and try to find a moment of understanding before the sun comes up.
Safely Surrender
Safely Surrendered for Newborns is a law that allows you to give up your baby. It's safe. It's legal. And, no one needs to know.
Know Thy Enemy: A Nefarious Bible Study
This project was a six-part Bible study designed as a companion to the acclaimed film “Nefarious.” This single-day six-camera shoot posed quite the challenge as the Digital Image Technician.
As the DIT, my job is to ensure that every individual bit of data is transferred off of cards, and backed up before the camera team can re-use the media. Doing it for a single camera can be challenging enough, but having six separate cameras created such a difficult bottle neck due to the length of the takes, and the amount of cameras. Having a powerful enough computer and a proper understanding of transfer rates is of the utmost importance.
At the end of the day, keeping track of all the needed media, and ensuring that everything is properly backed up is tricky. Its very apparent just how much data we had by the rows of tape along the cart after wrap!
The Crossing Over Express
Safely Surrender
This piece is a 30 Second PSA Commercial made to be played on television and at local movie theaters throughout Kern County to promote awareness for the Safely Surrender program.
Getting a call from the Kern County Department of Human Services definitely came out of the blue for me, but getting the opportunity to be a part of such a meaningful project was something I just couldn’t pass up. Stepping into the Director’s Chair for the first time in quite a while was a great exercise, and getting to work alongside my long-time friend Nick Doll as my DP was the cherry on top..
To say that this was a fast turn around is an understatement. I got the call January 15th with the project needing to hit screens just 16 days later. Working with my team at Aeleon Films, I was able to lead a very small crew of passionate people to pull everything together in time. Pre-production was about 10 days, with one day of production, and post taking four days total.
