The Tragedy of Tissaraka (2022)
Film (short) by Gneiss LLC / JT Schindler 2nd Assistant Camera This was my first project working as a 2nd AC and I loved every second of it. This project was actually a proof of concept for a longer film that will hopefully begin shooting later this year.

The Wall (2021 - 2022)
Film by Monsoon Productions / Philippe Van Leeuw Grip I did many different things on this project. My initial roll was to wrap picture cars with decals to make them look like border patrol cars. From there, I worked my way onto the set as a "picture car assistant," where I dealt with any on set maintenance and positioning of the vehicles. While in this position, I filmed two scenes as a stunt car driver as well as the coordination of a helicopter through an active set. From there, I moved up to production assistant where I dealt mostly with set maintenance. By the end, I was working as a grip full time where I gained an incredible amount of experience. This was my first time on a narrative film set.

Jon Rahm Interview (2021)
Documentary by USGA Utility I worked as a grip on this project setting up an interview with the 2021 U.S. Open Champion, Jon Rahm. I was one of 3 grips on this set and we filmed a piece of the U.S. Open documentary that is made for every U.S Open winner.

The American Dream (2021)
Internet by Matson Money Productions / Alex Mitchell Camera Operator The American Dream Project was a large scale investing seminar for customers who work with "Matson Money Financial." My role in the project was to obtain behind-the-scenes (BTS) footage to be shown in a later video depicting how the seminar was done. I used a Sony FXIII on a gimbal and filmed all stages of the seminar.

Cesars Palace Commercial (2021)
Commercial by Moonshot Productions / Cary Truelick Production Assistant I worked together with other production assistants to help the filming of a commercial for Caesars Palace. My onset responsibilities included assisting in the construction and breakdown of the set along with any other needs from the camera and or grip crew.
