THE BLING (EAR)RING
(2021)
For this short film through Whitman College's filmmaking class, students had to make a silent film (with music added in post) that included a random favorite subject of each student. In this case, that meant that the following had to play a role in our storytelling:
A mango, Copacabana by Barry Manilow, Vans shoes, earrings, seltzer, a basketball, dogs, and the color yellow.
Primary role: script writer, director, co-cinematographer, co-editor

ATLANTIC CROSSING
(2018)
This short montage follows only a fraction of the time spent onboard a 112-ft schooner named Argo during an Atlantic crossing crossing with Seamester.
VANS US OPEN OF SURFING
(2016)
This grainy and fast-paced video follows the professional surfers of the famous Vans U.S. Open of Surfing competition at Huntington Beach, CA in 2016. This was one of the first films I put together after acquiring editing software in high school, and was inspired by the gritty visuals and music of early surf and skate documentaries.
