Below is a selection of my most successful and complete collegiate works. Enjoy!
“Wild Wild Lust” – Music Video (2013)
Certainly the highest concept project I am responsible for, Wild Wild Lust describes the struggles of the heart.
In addition to directing and editing the video, as well as doing the production design and visual effects, I also composed, recorded, and mixed the song – collaborating with the talented Kiory Rivera, who is rapping. I have learned a lot about mixing since, and a new, higher quality version of the song is in the works.
“Orenda” Trailer (2014)
A brief trailer for my senior thesis, which I am directing, editing, and scoring, tentatively entitled “Orenda”. The film will be completed by June 1st, after which I plan to run the festival circuit, and as such it will not be available online for some time. However, any potential employers interested in viewing the latest rough cut are welcome to contact me via email, and I would be happy to send you a private link.
“Listen: Savannah” – Documentary (2012)
A documentary about the annual Savannah Jazz Festival in Savannah, GA. It was both an honor and a blast to cover the event, and what’s more it allowed me to meet some amazing people, and even rub elbows with prominent jazz and community figures, like Howard Paul, CEO of Benedetto Guitars, and Richard Jennings, President of the Coastal Jazz Association. Please find out more about this wonderful event at their site.
“Savannah Jazz Spot” – Commercial (2014)
A brief spot for the annual Savannah Jazz Festival. The opportunity to do this was provided by the relationships and contacts I’ve built with the local jazz scene, due to the above documentary. I urge you, if you’re ever in Savannah in autumn, make a point to stop by and listen to some great music.
