About Me:
I am a freelance director/producer/editor in Chicago, IL. Specializing in creating cinematic, Hollywood-style productions for a reasonable cost.
Having worked as a broadcast producer at the worldwide advertising agency, Leo Burnett for the last four years, I now work in freelance film, music video, and commercial direction, and production.
Armed with the goal of constantly growing exponentially with each project, I've never given up on the pursuit of creating strikingly cinematic work that truly captures an audiences attention and engages them from start to finish.

"Hey everyone! I just realized in my haste to submit the piece, I completely forgot to make mention of a few very special people who helped make this dream a reality...and since I cannot edit the right side of this screen I want you all to see it here!
First and foremost, Steven Dadouche was my *excellent* cinematographer for the shoot. He was wonderful to work with and froze his fingers off for the sake of this shoot. Literally. I don't know how he did it. I appreciate all his help..." "Hey everyone!

First and foremost, Steven Dadouche was my *excellent* cinematographer for the shoot. He was wonderful to work with and froze his fingers off for the sake of this shoot. Literally. I don't know how he did it. I appreciate all his help and he truly elevated this production with his effort and skill on the RED camera. He also spent hours with me color correcting this piece to get it just right and also helped me make the end 3D graphics a reality. He is truly a fantastic collaborator and was instrumental in bringing this vision to the screen!
Secondly, my sound designer Peter Erazmus at Audio Producers Group in Chicago did a stellar job of bringing the sound design to life. Peter truly helped us make this piece sound cinematic....
Lastly...my awesome voiceover talent: Jason Brett....he should totally be voicing movie commercials and was dead on for what we were looking for!
Thanks again!" (more)
