I am an independent film maker. With a background in audio production & engineering, as well as digital film making, I love the opportunity to try and tell stories using light and sound.
I grew up in California, lived in Hawaii for 4 years, met a beautiful young woman, married her and now we live in Glasgow, Scotland.
Last week I also had the opportunity to help shoot a promo video for a local wedding band, Chasing Lights. It was a great opportunity to take out some new lights and have a bit of fun with fairy lights! (video will be posted once it has been released by the band)
Earlier this year, Fat-Suit set out to record their 2nd album, Jugaad. They spent 3 days in the studio at the Edinburgh Napier- Merchiston campus. I had the privilege of rounding up a small team of SAE Glasgow degree students in their final months of study for the purpose of filming the entire recording session. This [...]
Back in March I took the Blackmagic Cinema Camera out for a spin with the new Rocket Travel Slider by Aviator Camera Gear. Zeke was kind enough to feature the project and the BTS video on his blog. Head on over and check it out! http://www.aviatorcameragear.com/glasgow-filmmaker-takes-the-rocket-for-a-spin/ As time allows, I am planning on writing [...]

The Look, Listen, Experience stopped by the Glasgow Science Centre last week. It was a great opportunity to hear from crew from a variety of local Film & TV production and post-production companies. The day consisted of a variety of great seminars, including a fantastic Lighting Workshop from DoP Jonathan Harrison. A multitude of cameras, lights, [...]
In February I had the opportunity to make another video for Rechord, a Glasgow based charity aiming to record and distribute new worship music at no cost to the artist.I have been helping to create their semi-regular video podcast videos, though this one was a bit different. This was an acoustic performance of a new [...]
On the 29th of November 2013, a police helicopter crashed into a local Glasgow pub, injuring many and killing police and civilians alike. In the wake of this tragedy, several members of the Strathclyde Police teamed up to write and record a single in efforts to raise money for those affected by the tragedy. "Won't [...]
This is definitely a belated post, but back in November I had the opportunity to participate in the Glasgow edition of the 48hr Film Project. The weekend contained moments of relaxing, eating pizza and thinking of script ideas, hurried production into the wee hours of the morning, and manic exporting sessions. Over a dozen people [...]
In the Spring of 2012, my wife and I headed out to a small island in the south of the Philippines. Though my wife had been previously, this was my first time. After spending two weeks in Burgos with the incredible staff at Hope for the Island, it was unfortunately time to leave. My autumn [...]
