RECENT WORKS:

"SELL OUT" (In Post Production) 2005
Casting Couch Productions
Director of Photography

SYNOPSIS :
This was a crazy carnival to shoot - lots of exaggerated color,
intensionally "bad" filming for a film within the film...
Some genius moments with a cast of downtown New York
soon-to-be legends and a murder scene inside a giant
elephant shaped museum... of course!.

PRODUCTION :
We shot on a Sony PD-150, using simple set-ups, soft
reflected light where needed, a few sleazy bar scenes with
heavy red and orange gels. Some nice tracking shots of
a voluptuous murderer having sex with the severed head of
one of her victims. Hey, all in a day's work.

"DEVICE" 2003
Cosmo 7 Films
Director of Photography

SYNOPSIS :
A romantic comedy with a twist ; the controlling girlfriend, the
indecisive guy, and a mail order chastity belt...

PRODUCTION :
Shot with my Canon XL-1 and lots of stylized framing. Got to do the old
"hide the camera in the bookshelf because of the glass doors behind
the actors" trick. Works every time.

Unfortunately the film died in post, but I got some great scenes out of it.

"DRAGZILLA" 2002
Skyloft Films
Camera Operator / Assistant Editor

The title says it all : A drag queen unwittingly uses government nuclear test
by-product oil as make-up and naturally, grows to over 200 feet tall,
terrorizing Manhattan! Yes, there was ample blue-screen involved with
this shoot. And a great scale model city street with plastic tanks and soldiers.
The film is playing in over 15 festivals internationally but still. I have to get an agent.
