DIRECTOR, DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY, EDITOR, & WRITER - All is Normal

I could write a book on the experience of making this feature length movie. I spent several years of my life working on it. (While maintaining a steady income through other endeavors.)

It showed in a few film festivals. Won a handful of awards. And got some really nice reviews. [1] [2] [3]

EDITOR - Bombshell in Bagdad

Here is a piece I edited for GOOD Magazine a while back.

I wish there were more journalists like Lara Logan.

ACTOR - Masks of Terror

This is a delightfully weird animation that my friend Manolo made. I played the role of Osama Bin Ladin. It was featured on the the now canceled VH1 website/show Acceptable TV.

WRITER - Slow Burn @ Maude Night May 18th - 8PM

I'm a writer for one of Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre's house sketch team. (otherwise known as a Maude Team) Here is a promo video I quickly threw together to promote our first show.

FOOTAGE COORDINATOR - Pentagon Reports Army Mascot 'Liberty' Killed in Iraq

This was one of the first things I helped with when I started at The Onion News Network back in December '08. I had to look through so many horrific videos and stills of the Iraq War to find all of these backgrounds.

After a while I became numb to it. I'm just thinking: "Too much color, not enough carnage." or "This shot would be great if they held the camera steady instead of running away from the sniper fire." or "It would be better if there was a dead body, and a Iraqi civilian crying." Then I take a long shower... and remember the only way I can deal with the awfulness of this situation (the war, not my job) is to make fun of it.

The next week I had to look through hours and hours of hardcore pornography.

DIRECTOR & DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY - Erotic Fiction: Star Trek

First this is NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

It's a Star Trek week.

This is a series that Chris Gethard and I did for our video sketch group Nuclear Palm. Some people think it's hilarious. Others are just disturbed. Either way it's really gross.

We found REAL erotic fan fiction and then Chris reads it dramatically. Personally I think it's insanely funny that people actually write this stuff and I love watching Chris bring it to life.

See more funny videos and funny pictures at CollegeHumor.

DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY & FOOTAGE COORDINATOR - Trekkies Bash New Star Trek Film As 'Fun, Watchable'

I think this is very funny. Plus this is the first video released by The Onion where I was Director of Photography of a few bits (the trekkies). I'm also proud that I found that Shatner vs. a Gorn fight scene.
