Cinematographer, Filmmaker, Storyteller
Ive always had a fondness for working with my hands. Growing up I would take apart household items like our family clock just to put it back together. Theres something about the small inter-working parts moving together, syncronised in mechanical harmony; that calms me down. Naturally I got into working on cars applying what I already knew to a much larger scale; I've now been working on and learning about auto-motives for six years and I've come to love every aspect of car culture. I also have a, soft spot for spaghetti westerns. I love how directors like Sergio Leone Director of "A fistful of dollars" use vast wide open landscape shots to make the west as much of a character as Clint Eastwood. I hope to be able to replicate this with my car, to show people the passion behind this culture, and the camaraderie that comes with it.

The Ted Bundy Files
Netflix has recently released a short film series about Ted Bundy; the first real man to harm so many people they coined the term “Serial killer” after him. I found this documentary particularly disturbing for this reason. He was such a smart, kind unassuming man. He attended law school went out and had friends. No one would have ever guessed he was capable of murdering 30+ women.
Hearing his confessions tape was crazy, it was weird too hear what he thought of himself vs what others thought of him, Both before and after he was exposed. It was very obvious that he had lost a few screws being stuck in solitary confinement for so lon. Which was both comforting because I felt he deserved worse than death. But also unsettling because seeing him like this felt for filing, deserving almost.Worth a watch really shows a lot about human nature.

"Interviewer 1": Creating this Interview was a cool experience. Making sure we maintain pauses between questions figuring out lighting and camera placement, crazy when you start to understand how much work goes into the process. For some reason the only difficult part was actually coming up with things to say; easily fixed with the addition of a script.
"Interviewer" 2: I knew a lot more going into this interview. The location was better noise wise and lighting wise. Since this time I was behind the camera I enjoyed this. Questions weren't nearly hard to come up with, and we didn't forget any equipment; this interview went way better.
Interviewee: This is me getting interviewed. I talk mostly about my car, very typical. Being on the other end of the camera's a little bit weird but honestly it felt more natural then filming or interviewing for me. Which came as quite the surprise.
