• My New Demo Reel v1.0

  Wednesday, Jun 4, 2008 4:14AM / Members only

  I've been trying to get some more freelance work and I realized that it's been almost 5 years since I've had a demo reel.  Below is my directing and editing reel.  I'll also be putting together a motion graphics reel and then a mega reel combining both.  Critiques are welcomed.  I've also included the link to the reel on my website.

• Still Hustlin'

  Thursday, May 15, 2008 8:29AM / Members only

  I've been keeping pretty busy lately, though not necessarily on my own projects.  Still trying to finish my short action film from last year.  I just completed a music video for up and coming Latin Rock artist Ignacio Val.  The short film, Bookie, which I co-produced, screened at the Los Angeles Asian Film Festival earlier this month and I also created the festival's animated introductory sequence which you can see on their website.  Shot a couple shorts with some good friends of mine which should be online soon and I created several motion graphics sequences for Pet Project Productions.  Once I've completed the current projects in the pipeline my goal is to finish my action short and re-design my website.
