Project Alive
In 2004, the Beastie Boys released a live concert documentary entitled “Awesome… I F’in Shot That.” They handed out 50 minidv cameras to members of the audience, who documented the event, and everything was edited together to offer a unique perspective of the show.

The Arrival of a Train to the Station
‘The Arrival of a Train to the Station’ is a miniature Alternate Reality Game that I constructed as a prototype for thesis experimentation at Parsons. It is meant to be a fragmented, multimedia, and non-linear experience, although I feel it holds up as a conventional short film as well.

Don't Look Down - Pitchfork TV Bumper
Don’t Look Down is a live concert series on Pitchfork TV, featuring a band playing a selection of songs on a rooftop (the working title, “Roofies,” was unfortunately not used when the project went live).

Recess
‘Recess’ was my final project for a Videography course I took Senior Year of Undergrad. Influenced by Christopher Guest films and ‘The Office,’ The video documents a boss’s initiative to allow his workers 30 minutes of recess each day, “in a effort to create synergy, increase productivity, and boost morale.”

Packt Like Sardines in a Crushd Tin Box
Packt Like Sardines was the final output I produced while studying abroad in Düsseldorf, Germany, during my Junior Year of undergrad. My intention was to visually represent the mass consumerism that I had been observing (in any country), as well as hone my editing skills in an attempt to marry sound and visuals. Everything was shot and editing by me, music by Radiohead.
