Demo Reel

Take a look at my demo reel to see the best projects
I've worked on over the last several years. 

Films

Below are some of the film projects I worked on/produced during my academic career at Messiah.

The Divide (2016)

• A short film I directed for Messiah College's Splice Film Festival. This film uses nature as a metaphor for the journey of life.

Unknown (2015)

• A short film I directed for the Ephemeral Film Festival. The film incorporates the word "ephemeral", meaning "brief" or "short lived." 

THIS IS DIGITAL Commercial (2015)

• A commercial for my Senior Seminar & Capstone

             course in which the assignment was to create a
             digital artifact that addressed "Digital Media
             about Digital Media." 

Dance Film (2015)

• A group project that I filmed and  edited for  Film and HD Production II in which we filmed a dance routine utilizing our own preset aesthetic. 

0° Celsius (2014)

• A group project that I helped film and edit for Film and HD Production I. Our assignment was to reinterpret a scene from Disney's Frozen. We chose to transform the scene into a horror film.

The Enchanted Tramp (2014)

• A remake of Thomas Edison's The Enchanted Drawing (1900) that I directed and edited for Film History I.

Over the past three years, I have worked as a blog author, site
manager, and editor for Messiah's Cinemablography project, 
which serves to chart a cinematic map of the 21st century in
film in addition to help bridge the gap between academia and
popular culture. 

I have written many blogs over the years for Cinemablography,
with topics ranging from current director profiles to behind-the-scenes looks from different films to new techniques and aesthetics being used in the industry today (such as the long shot) I have also written film reviews including Robert Zemeckis' ​The Walk and Christopher Nolan's latest film Interstellar, among others. I have also contributed to the Science Fiction section of the site, writing a paper on Francis Lawrence's apocalyptic thriller I Am Legend.

myself as well as text from poems.

For this assignment, I chose dialogue from a film (James Cameron's 
Terminator 2: Judgment Day) and placed it in several spreads, utilizing
space, hierarchy, lines, and pull quotes.
