ABOUT

Im a freelance electrician, which in the film world means I do the lighting...for some of you out there...thats right we still light stuff regardless of how much low-light capacity the cameras may have :. My dream job is directing music videos/commercials.
One of my beliefs is that lighting and art department are crucial when it comes to music videos and commercials. I have lucked out tremendously and work with some of the top Gaffers and electricians in the industry. Oh, the grips I work with are pretty good too :P. Im not gonna give the DPs any credit on this one, they get enough :.
I have had some luck in my journey, but only some. I have directed several music videos which are doing great over seas :/ and I was going to direct the Welcome Back to the NFL commercial last year after the strikes happened, but had the opportunity taken away from me at the last minute once the NFL learned that I was not DGA. Im not gonna lie, it was a horrible experience, weeks from the date we are supposed to shoot, a 50,000 budget, players locked, song recorded, and the NFLs legal team calls me up, We noticed that you didnt include your union info. in your forms I respond, That is because I dont have anything to give you, Im not union. They respond, OK thank-you. We hang-up and I never hear from them again...Well, at least they didnt steal my concept :.
I am fun-loving, easy going, and love what I do. In the perfect world, I would be lighting features and directing music videos/commercials.
