"Fameily: The ERBA Story" (Pitch Trailer)
I directed, shot & edited this fun proof-of-concept trailer for a project that was optioned and nearly made into a show with the help of Abominable Pictures. It stars Mather Zickel, Joe LoTruglio, Drew Droege, Beth Dover and Frances Chewning. I co-wrote and co-produced it, as well as composed/performed the music with Beth & Frances.

Carter Tanton - "Fake Pretend" (Music Video)
A music video I directed / shot / edited for my friend, Carter Tanton for his 2011 album "Freeclouds" , released on Western Vinyl. The song features guest vocals by the ethereal Marissa Nadler. The video was shot on location in Maryland and Palm Springs and was co-produced by myself and Marshall Johnson.
Mimi & Flo - Same Dude (Parody Music Video)
This parody video was a viral hit for my web-series, "The Mimi & Flo Show", which I created with Frances Chewning and Hannah Bos. We made this video to drive traffic from YouTube to our interactive, flash-based website (which was very fancy, at the time) and today it holds over 1.5 million views. I directed, co-wrote, shot, edited the video and performed/recorded all instruments.
The Mimi & Flo Show
(Choose-Your-Own-Webventure Webseries)
Of all of my film/video work. I'm maybe proudest of this.
I created and co-wrote this web-series of nearly 30 videos with Frances Chewning and Hannah Bos back in the wild west days of YouTube and web-series. Our claim to fame is that the show was the first "choose-your-own-adventure" web-series on the net, years before you could link videos on YouTube. Our beautifully constructed interactive website is now defunct, but the videos are finally all linked-up on YouTube to be experienced how we initially hoped they would to be. I directed and shot every episode and edited nearly all of them (superstar film editor Michelle Tesoro edited the first few... in 2023, she edited Bradley Cooper's Best-Picture-Oscar-nominated feature, "Maestro"). I also did music for many of them. It was a ton of work and I still think it holds up. The episodes get stronger as you go along, so dive in and enjoy ;)
Five Stars (Short Film)
This fun short was the brainchild of hilarious improv comedian, Casey Gullickson. He and comedian Mat Dann wrote the screenplay together and Casey and I co-directed. The shoot was a totally hysterical experience.
Charming Charlie (30 Second Spot)
This was a spot I did for Charming Charlie. It originally started out as a behind-the-scenes shoot, but expanded in scope to eventually be finished for broadcast.
