Hey, welcome to my portfolio website.
I used to have one of those bios written in the third person, as if I wasn't the one penning it. I cringe just thinking about it, so I blew that shit away.
I started making stop motion videos when I was a little kid, music videos in high school and then films in college. I lived in Santa Monica for ten years, and had all kinds of weird jobs across the TV and Documentary production field. Being on set stressed me out, and I found that post-production had a kind of cathartic pace and a modicum of control that seemed to work for me. My therapist says we're VERY CLOSE to getting to the bottom of that, but I think he's just stringing me along.
But enough with the history lesson. I'm assuming you're here because you want to know if I'm the right fit for your project. If that's not the case, stop creeping and click out. You're better than that.
I think what sets me apart is that I mess around in a lot of creative mediums. My friend, a great Director and Editor, once described that moment when an edit comes to life and starts breathing its own air as "finding the alchemy." And that's where I'm always trying to get. I'm no more focused on the visual aesthetic than I am on the story, pace, music and sound design. It's only when all of these elements are married correctly that you've made something that'll move viewers, in one way or another.
Wow, so serious. Let's end this with a solid dad joke.
Why didn't the lifeguard save the hippie surfer?
He was too far out, man.
