Surreal. The only way I can even begin to describe what I feel: Surreal. Other than that, no words come to mind. I remember how I responded to my professor when he told me that I had to experience India. “Absolutely not possible,” I replied given my current starving student/artist budget. He persisted by telling me that I could film for McCombs in exchange for a trip to India. “That would be amazing, but I’m not going to get my hopes up.” Even in the week before my scheduled, I almost drowned in the sea of midterms, papers, packing, and…

Bigroundballs.com should sound familiar because I worked with them a year ago, when I lived in LA for the summer of 2011 to do an internship at 20th Century Fox. It is a non-profit charity that my dear friend Nicolas Putnam started with his friend Joel Lyftogt to help raise awareness and money for testicular cancer research. Both Nic and Joel have had loved ones die from this deadly disease and as a way to cope with their losses as well as help others dealing with this same issue, they started this fantastic charity. The first video I did was…

It's surprising to think that many of the online platforms we use daily and perhaps could not fathom living without have only existed for less than a century. For me, my guilty pleasure is YouTube. This phenomenon occurred when two programmers and one design student, Steve Chen, Jawed Karim, and Chad Hurley, respectively (of course the White guy is the designer..) brought YouTube to the public in February 2005. That’s only about 7 years from today!     I suppose YouTube has significantly affected me because my career as a serious filmmaker did not officially start until 2009.  I dabbled...

  Have you ever wondered why you’ve stayed with that one guy or girl. In “Thanks Babe!” Moth to Flame explores a typical life in a typical couple’s day. Well, maybe not so typical…perhaps borderline psycho? Tell us what you think.     We’ve all been in relationships where we wonder why we’re still in them. Beautiful filmmaking elicits on some level an emotional response from people. We love when we can make people laugh, and we all really enjoyed writing and making this short. We have regular lunch meetings on Tuesdays where we talk about things that make us…

The social media space is a space that I am fascinated with because of the power it gives to independent filmmakers wanting to self-promote their own material. Before social media, we relied purely on screenings and film festivals, in order to gain an audience. Now, anyone can post a YouTube video and it has the possibility of going viral, accessing millions of users locally and around the world.   Unfortunately, because it is so easy to post material on YouTube and Facebook, it is also easy for your material to become lost amongst the millions of other user content. After…

All of my friends are in serious relationships, engaged, or married… so it is only fitting to make fun of them. 🙂 This is a story based off of a true story about a couple. I will not name which couple for fear of retribution (hint: he’s part of the MTF team) Enjoy! Happy Valentine’s Day! This is dedicated to couples every where.   Be sure to check back next Tuesday for our second short about couples 🙂 Actually, just check back every Tuesday because I always post on Tuesdays.

What is a production studio in a bag? It is bag that contains everything you may need in order to shoot wherever and whenever you want in an efficient and effective manner. I am not promising crane or slider shots, however, for everything else, my production studio bag works quite well. I have developed and perfected my bag for a few years and the items in this bag have been directly influenced by my experience as a filmmaker.   Someone once described my style of shooting as “ninja” shooting. And no, this was not a racial comment… but the fact…
