So I know I'm a latecomer to the whole blogging phenomenon, but I never really had anything to blog or share with the world until now. This being my first post, I figured I guess it would only make sense to explain why it is I'm blogging in the first place and what it is I am blogging about...
For those of you who know me, I make films and video and thoroughly enjoy photography. Filmmaking has been my chosen path in life and I love it. I know a lot of people probably never expected it from me, but it was something I always wanted to get into when I was younger but never really had a way of doing it or know how I was going to go about getting into films. It was in my undergrad at Boston University that I really embraced my desire to get into filmmaking.
Today I've worked on music videos, commercials and a feature length documentary (which I will probably be writing more about in the upcoming posts) all on a micro-level. I direct, produce and edit most of my own work, which is extremely stressful and time-consuming (for those of you in the business, you know what I'm talking about), but also very rewarding because you learn to become self-sufficient and you are constantly learning.
This blog is really about two things... It's a way for me to present my work to the world and a place where I want to be able to share my thoughts on film/video, cinema and photography with all of you. I want to be able to share my experiences as I grow in this art because it really is a process and I have a long, LONG way to go before I reach the ranks of the Jean-Paul Jeunets, the Aveillans, and the Gondrys of this world.
So I hope you'll all enjoy what I have to share with you and I really want to hear all your opinions and recommendations on films, photography and cinema as I am always looking for new inspirations and gain new knowledge.
Before I go, here's a montage reel of some things I've shot in the past year or so.
Enjoy!
