Projects
- Steve Martin - "The Long Awaited Album" (content series)For Steve’s 2017 record, I directed, edited, and produced a series of music videos. Filmed at Mack Sennett, a 102 year-old studio in Silver Lake, and also at San Diego State University, this was a true highlight. Not to mention, some of the songs we filmed also appeared in Steve Martin & Martin Short’s EMMY-nominated Netflix special, An Evening You Will Forget For The Rest Of Your Life.
- COMMON - Album Listening Experience (Live at YouTube Space New York)Let Love Have The First Listen is an unprecedented look at GRAMMY & OSCAR-winning artist Common. Watch as he delves into his creative process and the self-examination that inspired his new record Let Love. A cross between Marvin Gaye and Radiohead, this intimate live experience (1 hour and 23 minutes) was filmed at the YouTube Space New York.
- Creedence Clearwater Revival - "Have You Ever Seen The Rain"Filmed entirely in Montana, this is the first official music video for CCR’s legendary song. Released during the 50th anniversary of their debut album, this coming-of-age narrative stars Jack Quaid (Amazon’s “The Boys”, Logan Lucky), Sasha Frolova (Kenzo’s The Everything, Red Sparrow), and Erin Moriarty (Amazon’s “The Boys”, Marvel’s “Jessica Jones”). *Premiered on People.com
