Visualizing the mania of fandom, Live Más is a four episode branded doc series sponsored by Taco Bell showing the energy on the Clemson University campus around their football team. We spent four days filming at Clemson University, including filming on the field for Clemson’s sold-out rivalry game against Texas A&M. This was a complex and rapid production with four distinct episodes shot in less than a week and the logistical challenges of filming at a live sporting event.

The below Director’s Cut re-imagined the story in the wake of the 2020 pandemic, as fans were cut off from the sports they craved.

From executive producer Ellen Pompeo (Grey’s Anatomy), this doc series was created for Quibi two months prior to their shutdown.

Developed with director Bill Kirstein and NY Times jazz critic Giovanni Russonello, this is the first episode of a potential series bringing jazz artists together to improvise in intimate venues, unique to their combined sound. The first episode featured bass clarinetist, Lea Bertucci and cellist, Tomeka Reid in the acoustic hall of mirrors, the Widow Jane Mine. The artists explore the space before composing a piece from scratch in its dank depths. The live performance was lit via mirror boards bouncing sunlight from outside the cave and a few supplementary LED tubes on stage. We also recorded a high quality version of the performance for release on digital platforms.

Over the past four years, I’ve produced over thirty political ads for The Win Company, an agency and strategy firm creating political ads for progressive candidates around the United States. Personal highlights include flipping the house with four winning candidates in the Virginia delegates races, electing Lauren Underwood in a notoriously Red Illinois congressional district, and work for the presidential campaign of Joe Biden. Other candidates I’ve worked with include the viral sensation, Iron Stache aka Randy Bryce, and New York Governor candidate, actor and activist, Cynthia Nixon.

The two films below are a small sample of the work.

I’ve produced three campaigns for Design Within Reach and parent company Herman Miller. The first was a tongue-in-cheek, Wes Anderson-esque portrait of the Risom House, designer Jens Risom’s family retreat on Block Island. The campaign promoted DWR’s new Risom furniture line and led to future work, including a 2019 flagship ‘Home Comes First’ campaign aimed at first time customers.
