ABOUT

I make my living as a writer-producer-director (and often editor) and have been making films professionally since 1998. 

Beyond the corporate and commercial work I do (through my company Loud Pictures), I've also made four independent feature films (THUGS, HIT, KILLING DOWN, and SPILT MILK) and numerous short films and music videos. KILLING DOWN can be seen on DVD and television throughout most of Europe, the Middle East, and Latin America. And can also be found on DVD in the U.S. and Canada at retailers like Amazon, Netflix, Blockbuster, Walmart and Best Buy. SPILT MILK stars Jake Johnson (Paper Heart) and Chase Jeffery (American Virgin) and will be released in 2011.

In the New Media realm I created the critically acclaimed web series PINK, which to date has been viewed online nearly 10 million times (on YouTube, Hulu, TheWB.com, Revver, Koldcast, Vuze, iTunes, Myspace, Facebook, Yahoo, etc.). The series was nominated for a 2008 Webby Award (was an Honoree that year and again in 2009), and also I won Best Direction in a Dramatic Web Series at the First Annual Streamy Awards in 2009. Most recently PINK has gone on to find international distribution through Fireworks (Content Film) and will soon be available world-wide on mobile and Internet portals.

Additionally, I produce the web show 88 HITS and it's spin-off THE DIY'S GUYS. And from the success of these various ventures, Warner Bros. Television hired me to produce a new web series called EXPOSED for the TheWB.com. The show was Executive Produced by McG (Terminator: Salvation) and premiered online in June 2010.

For both the shows PINK and EXPOSED I partnered with writer & producer Mike Maden and formed a new production company called Alternative Fuel. This entity develops and produces content across all platforms in New Media, Television and Film. 

Narrative filmmaking is my passion.  I'm a storyteller at heart.  And whether I'm directing an indie film project or producing a TV commercial, I bring the same level of passion and commitment to the job.
