VITA INCLINATA AEROSPACE | I worked with the Montana Army National Guard to petition for two Blackhawk helicopters: one with the Vita Rescue System, and one without. I directed their PAO while I stayed grounded, and filmed this video is just a few hours. The results showcase the Vita Rescue System’s impressive capabilities.

VITA INCLINATA INDUSTRIAL | With just a few hours to film on the crane yard, I went it and developed a script and plan on the spot. It took a little creative spontaneity (and buttering up to coworkers) to pull off this fun and educational commercial video in less than a day.

BUCKLEY FENCE | I was hired to create this beautiful commercial showcasing their unique and coveted steelboard fences. While earlier ads targeting a broader audience, I elected to focus on the ideal buyer (who had the income to invest in such a high-end fence). The results were exponentially higher monthly sales leads from these video Facebook ads.

CHARTER COMMUNICATIONS | Before lockdown, I advised Charter Communications to allow me to film as much footage and interviews as possible. This paid off just a month later, when they had content to release to their employees who were stuck working remotely.

MATRIX EVENTS | Livestream session during lockdown that I designed to be more engaging than “just another Zoom meeting.” We shipped cocktail DIY kits to each attendee and then hosted live horse racing and betting.

CEAVCO AUDIO VISUAL | In order to reach remote audiences, CEAVCO needed to give a virtual tour of their new studio to showcase their digital streaming services and capabilities. Once clients saw the physical recording studio that was available to them, they were more inclined to book with the professionals at CEAVCO (rather than try it themselves from home).

THE DENVER POST | I was hired to direct their 2020 Pen & Podium Series while managing two teams simultaneously from remote locations. I used Denver University’s theatre as a stunning backdrop, and used Zoom to coordinate with my film production teams in New York and Los Angeles to film an interview with New York Times Best Selling authors Michael Pollan and Min Jin Lee.

THE SMART CITY FORUM | I was commissioned by the City of Denver to film on-site interviews at their exclusive technology conference, and was selected entry for the 2019 Emmy Awards for this video.
