In high school and college this was mostly experiments with video. In graduate school I made two short films in 16mm, one silent, the other with a simple soundtrack. Moving to Chicago I made two more short films, both with complex non-sync soundtracks. I really enjoy film as a medium, especially the way it comes together as a finished entity that an audience can experience.

Now with the advent of Digital Video and more powerful PC-based editing, I am continuing my work in motion picture. I am working on projects to be shot with DV, edited with Final Cut Pro (Mac), and burned directly to DVD. At some point I would also like to post such projects on this website, but they're not available yet.

In the meantime, here is a listing of the films I have directed:

Muse, 1996, 3:15, B&W, Silent - A painter is hard at work in his studio, but is interrupted by a knock at his door and an unexpected visitor.

45 RPM, 1996, 5:25, B&W, Silent w/music, - A radio DJ plays a record and becomes connected with the various solitary listeners around the area.

Making it Home, 1997, B&W, Non-Sync sound - A businessman hustles from work to the train home and finds release in the form of a baseball game braodcast in his headphones.

A Loose Connection, 1997, B&W, Sound - A shy girl studying in a library discovers a string that leads her outside and through the city, through several encounters, and eventually to a surprising end.

I also watch a lot of films, particularly the independent cinema. My favorite directors include: Spike Lee, Francis Ford Coppola, David Lynch, Wes Anderson, Atom Egoyan, and Krystoff Kyslowski. My favorite movies of all time would include: Apocalypse Now, Do the Right Thing, 2001, The Godfather trilogy, Star Wars, The World According to Garp, O Brother Where Art Thou, Rushmore, Mulholland Drive, Being John Malkovich, Amelie, and Ferris Beuller's Day Off.
