Back East, is a short film that takes place in the wild west. It was shot in 2004 on Super 16mm with an Arri SR3 rented from Boston Camera. Lighting and Grip was rented from Kaye Lites. Despite being a western, this short film was shot entirely in Walpole, Massachusetts. Production Design, by Hillary Gurtler, was key to this production; one set was built in a two-car garage to facilitate a more efficient production.

A Super 16mm film shot on the Arri SR3 for the film production organization, FPS, at Emerson College. "Craps" is the story of one man's quest for originality; a quest which ends in the backseat of a Canadian taxicab. All of the locations in the film were realized in the Metro-Boston area, including a rigorous overnight schedule to shoot 5 pages in a moving taxi. Myself and gaffer David Kane devised a great way to light these scenes by rigging 4' Kino-Flo's to the outside of every window. Premiering in September 2005.

A music video for the Los Angeles-based band, Helicopter, Helicopter. Capitalizing on the fluorescent lighting on location, I created a gross green look to emphasize the drudgery of a dead-end 9-5 job. The band members were lit by source 4's and glossy back lights to pull them away from their surroundings. This video was shot on the Panasonic DVX-100A.
