I am an award-winning director, screenwriter, and actor. IMDb profile | Vision8Studio
My Background
I have studied film since my Junior year of High School in 1995. I went on to study it in college and then it merely became a side hobby for many years. In 2014, I jumped back into film with full force and finally started to make films that went on to win numerous awards. I have a 10x10 storage unit filled with professional film equipment for a full set. I'm very passionate about film and I enjoy the ability to use this talent as often as I can.
Corporate Video
This was a large, global project. I directed the Pacific Northwest team. We shot the footage using a RED EPIC camera and a crew of 6.

Product Marketing Video
This was filmed the end of March in 2020 right when COVID-19 first hit. Needless to say, we tried to be a cautious as possible on our film set, but the world still didn't know much yet. Our main host was sick the day of the film shoot, so she ended up coming to my house for me to film her and then record her voiceovers since it was now April and it was difficult to find a professional space to rent. For this project I created 4 videos and edited 150 RAW photos for their CBD products: CBDPure and Swift. I was assisted by Myles Lawrence and Steven Sroba.
I was also in charge of casting the actors, scheduling, booking the locations, directing, and I assisted with cinematography and editing.
We shot this in 4K using a Sony ASII with Rokinon Cine Lenses.

The Wild Hair Salon
This was filmed during the pandemic - hence the masks - for a local salon's anniversary. It was a very safe set and a lot of fun. I was tempted to dye my hair blue after this, but then my 41-year-old self told me that my natural color is still cool.
I shot this using a Canon 5D Mark III with a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 lens. I was the only crew member on this project.

Fusion Hair Salon
This was a fun website video for smaller hair salon in Portland, OR. I cast the actress who got her her hair "pretend" colored that day.
Similar to the Wild Hair, I shot this using a Canon 5D Mark III with a Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 lens. I was the only crew member on this project.

Accident Care Chiropractic and Massage
I created a few videos for Accident Care, but this one shows the use of my DJI Ronin Gimbal which is why the camera is so steady as I'm walking. Everyone you see in the video is an employee of the company and it was a lot of fun to shoot. For me, any time on set is fun, even on the stressful days when technology is not on your side.
I shot this in 4K using a Panasonic Gh5 camera with a Panasonic Lumix S 24-105mm f/4 Lens. I was also the only crew member, minus one assistant to assist me with set up and break down.

Scenes from Short Films
Vision8Studio is my company and provides private coaching and acting workshops in addition to my work as a filmmaker.
For one of my advanced classes, I write short films and have the students act out the scenes on an actual film set to help them expand their demo reels. These are some scenes that I pulled. I worked with a crew of 4.

Film Trailer
The trailer you're about to experience was directed, filmed, and edited by myself, including animation.
This award-winning feature documentary took 3 years to produce. It was supposed to be a short film, but once I realized how deep this got, it had to be a feature film. I was the primary filmmaker, but had assistance on a couple of occasions by Amy Castellano and Randy Kovach on 2nd and 3rd cameras. This filmed premiered at Times Theatre in Seaside, OR in March of 2019 and has gone on to sell hundreds of DVDs.

Web Series
I'm a big fan of the 90s and this web series was absolutely the most incredible - yet challenging - film project to date. Adventures in #Adulting went to film festivals and became won quite a few awards. I was the screenwriter, director, lead actor, and casting director for this film. I worked with a crew of 10 on this project and more than 100 actors were featured in this production. Season one has 8 episodes.
This was shot using a RED Scarlet and a Sony A7S II.
