II · Thesis

In 2005, I bet on digital cinema when most of the old guard said it would never look as good as 35mm film. They were wrong.

Within a few years, I had landed two of my clients record deals, directed a chart-topping music video, and was shooting editorials for a national rock magazine. No film school. No celluloid. I knew what looked good, and the tools let me prove it.

The story is always first. The tools come second.

The AI revolution is here. It isn’t going away. If the story lands, the medium doesn’t matter.

Short Film Series

Embedded filmmaking.

A very special project embedded with a community I've known for fifteen years in Tomball, Texas. Guerrilla filmmaking. No crew. Just me, my camera, and a story that needed to be told.

V · Background

I started out in 2002 as a multidisciplinary artist, traveling the world for commissioned projects across screen, page, and stage. Since then, my creative work has been seen by over 50 million viewers worldwide.

I directed an indie feature film, shot 20 music videos — including a six-week #1 — and earned Official Selections at 12 film festivals.

I’ve spoken at TEDx and CreativeMornings, performed stand-up at the Improv, and collaborated with award-winning, chart-topping artists. I was a commissioned photographer for leading music magazines, and my fine art meme show premiered in New York.
