Let’s make some NOISE

Here comes yet another Cine Practicum. I had the opportunity to write and direct this short film during the spring semester and filmed it with a group of skilled Cinematography students at Burbank Studios’ Stage 5.

While at home alone, Wendy engages in a phone conversation with her mother. Suddenly, unexplainable events begin to unfold within her apartment. The question lingers: Could there be another presence with her?

Check out this scene I shot last semester with CINE students. This fun scene was based on “Dudes” by David Dalton & Chad Schnackel.
Luke wakes up his best friend, Alex, to help him figure out what happened the night before but first, he needs to convince him that it is truly him.

 

A FRIENDLY TURN opened at LA Shorts!

A FRIENDLY TURN had a full house with over 200 film fans at the Regal Theatre at LA Live. Our comedy was in the company of six great short films accompanied by a Q&A on stage. Big Thanks to LA Shorts International Film Festival for a great screening and more festivals to come!

FOLLOW-UP just uploaded

I am running a little behind fine-tuning the final cuts of last semester’s Cine Practicums and FOLLOW-UP is the first one I was able to finish. Great job to the cast and crew – I am very proud of this one!
It is not looking good for Corey during this routine visit to the doctor. This is going to be a hard hard pill to swallow.  🙂

“MY LA” with consul Stefan Schneider

Check out the collection of five episodes I shot with Consul General Stefan Schneider and the German consulate last year where he and Kenneth Ensslin visit some of Mister Schneider’s favorite places in Los Angles that are all linked to Germany. I am grateful that he took us on this journey which was a fun and also a very moving experience.

BLUNT in Italy

I am delighted that BLUNT is included in the Ultras Shorts “Gradisca” category of the 15th Amarcort Film Festival in Rimini. The festival is dedicated to Frederico Fellini and runs from November 22 – 27 and screens films in multiple venues across the beautiful ocean town of Rimini.
