- This American CatMy friend Daniel was dressed as Ira Glass for Halloween. We decided to go get a cup of coffee to catch up and he mentioned that the first cat cafe in the United States had just opened, and did I want to check it out? We decided that since he was already dressed as Ira Glass and I had my crappy little camera that we should probably take advantage of the system. To the baristas' confusion, we explained that we were here to shoot a web short called "This American Cat", and were here to interview the cats. Despite the explanation that they were cats and couldn't talk, we carried on. This is the short we made.
- General Magic the DocumentaryGeneral Magic is a documentary about a tech company in the '90's that tried to invent the smartphone before the internet. It's a story about trying to do the impossible and what do after epic failure. I was the Production Manager on this project, and like with all small documentary crews, I was in charge of much more than usual. I organized shoots all over the country, varying from traditional interviews in billionaire's homes to filming a real and very massive wildfire in Big Sur. I was in charge of logistics, budgeting, crew, and overall happiness. This film is incredibly ambitious and I have been very proud to be a part of it.

- AlphaZero: Mastering chess with creativityAlphaZero plays very differently to other chess engines. Unlike existing chess programs that use thousands of rules programmed by experts, AlphaZero has no rules. Instead it learns to play chess from scratch by playing against itself millions of time. The result is a chess style that is unlike anything that has come before. AlphaZero plays intuitively and dynamically – discarding large quantities of accepted chess theory in the process. And it wins. When Deepmind asked us to make a film to6
