Narrative
Visitation
​
Being a psychologically-driven film, I was focused on keeping the viewer in the head of the main character. Feeling why she does what she does, the peaks and valleys of her emotions are integral for the project to have its needed impact.

Wake
​
I worked very closely with the director of this short film in order to deliver the non-traditional narrative in a way that fit with his vision. In addition to meticulously editing the project, I worked in a managerial role with the other post-production roles to bring everything together into a cohesive, functional whole.

Documentary
The Bottom of the Ramp
​
This documentary was a collaborative project, with the entire team working vigilantly through research, filming and post-production. I was in charge of editing, managing many different versions as well as all of the footage being shot and integrated into the project as we edited, all done in a very short time frame.

Emily C. Martin, Illustrator
​​
In this documentary short, I strove to convey the passion and personality of comic illustrator Emily Martin, weaving together her motivations, locations that inspire her, and the work she produces to paint a comprehensive picture of the artist.

Keller Williams Beverly Hills: Red Day
​
The goal with this piece was to promote the cause as much as the client, to avoid a self-congratulatory sentiment. To do this, I focused on the realtors' joy at their service, passion for the work they were doing, and, of course, the appreciation of the children.

Music & Experimental
A Poem About Nothing
​
For this art film I worked carefully to craft the poet's performance, cutting its duration down by a third, while striving to enhance the emotional and narrative crux of the piece.

Untitled
​
This is an experimental film that I created using hand manipulation and editing of 16mm film stock. No digital work was done on it, except for inverting the colors of a few shots.
Edited with my own two hands, a splicer and some tape
