LET’S MAKE SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

Simply put, I want to tell stories in creative and evocative ways. I'm a firm believer in collaboration because it makes all work better. If we can capture a feeling and associate it with a brand, a moment, or a story, then we create meaning. Once we create meaning, anything is possible.

THE CLEANING

I wrote, directed, and was DoP on this fun halloween TV commercial for Stanley Steemer.

We filmed on a Bolex 16mm film camera to capture the look and feel of low budget 1970's era horror films. I wrote the music using mellotrons and other accurate instrumentation to further enhance the vibe.

ACROSS THE NATION

I directed, shot footage for, and edited this TV campaign for Stanley Steemer. It showcases the brand values of the company while also informing consumers that Stanley Steemer services every state in the USA.

COLUMBUS
BLUE JACKETS

I directed and edited this video in collaboration with the Columbus Blue Jackets. It was part of Stanley Steemer’s sponsorship of the team

THE FIRST SPRING CLEANING

I produced, directed and was DoP on these spring cleaning ads. Working with a maritime museum, wardrobe professionals, and set designers, we wanted a theatrical look for the flashbacks that echoed the big studio productions of the 1940’s and 50’s. I personally love working with painted backdrops, so this was a pleasure to shoot.

COMMERCIAL CLEANING

I directed, shot footage for, and edited this TV spot highlighting Stanley Steemer’s commercial cleaning services.
