2016!
Gender-swapped high school students Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump run for school president.
With the absurdity of the 2016 Presidential Election constantly in my news feed, I couldn't help but be inspired by an informational video I saw about Trump one night while trying so desperately to find inspiration for my newest film.
This was created for the 2016 Phoenix Comic Con Film Challenge, and I was assigned the prop of boomerang and the line of dialoge "is this for real?"

Joy
A couple spend a quiet afternoon together.
Teamed up with my friend Taylor Plecity to film some small scenes. Realized there was a nice little story tucked away in the intimate moments we captured.
Truly hope you enjoy this!

The Girl Who Knew She Could Fly
A girl Finds herself utterly disconnected from her life.
This project was filled with many interesting challenges: an actor phoning from another town at their call time, locked locations with no keys in sight, and the disappearance of half of the film's footage (including the entire other world of the story) -- all within a two-day time limit.
But my crew held strong, and we produced a film I am very, very proud of. I hope you enjoy!

Between the Trees
A girl's obsession has fatal consequences.
Created for the Phoenix Comicon Film Challenge - where it premiered in the Top Ten, placed in the Top Five and won Best Use of Music.
The challenge included using one of four assigned songs (I chose Romeo and Juliet, Montagues and Capulets by Sergei Prokofiev), and having an obscure Star Wars reference.
Here's a teaser trailer for your enjoyment.

Make Way for Books
Promotional documentary about the Tucson non-profit.
Make Way for Books is reaching out to southern Arizona families in the most creative and innovative ways possible; traveling out into the community to provide early literacy programming that meets families where they are!
I was very excited to be able to work with a non-profit that does something I care about: bringing education and books to communities that are predominantly illiterate.

Overwatch
The fallout after an infection takes over civilization.
The longest, most challenging project I've worked on to date. Days were packed full of pages, demanding quick thinking and fast camera work. I shot mostly handheld, quickly developing a steady hand and smooth flowing movement.
Probably my favorite thing to have filmed on this movie was the fight scenes!
