RECENT WORK
DISCOVERING YELLOWSTONE
Created for: Outside Inc.
Client: Yellowstone Bourbon
Role: Camera Operator and Editor
Yellowstone Bourbon, a brand deeply rooted in the heritage and adventure of the American outdoors, wanted to enhance its visibility, and deepen its connection with consumers through authentic storytelling. As part of this 5 part series I helped shape the creative, developing treatments, sourcing talent, shooting anamorphic, and delivering engaging edits.
SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE
Created for: Outside Inc.
Client: Costa Del Mar
Role: Director and Editor
Sometimes in the branded content world you're handed fast turn around projects. This one from Costa Del Mar was one such example, with a 4 week turnaround to develop, scout, shoot, and edit 2 original stories. As the director I developed storyboards, worked with field producers, and led production. The two surf and dive videos created were instrumental in the campaign exceeding its reach and engagement goals.
A LIFE HISTORY SERIES
Client: Wild Salmon Center
Role: Director, Cinematographer, Editor
Wild Salmon Center wanted to highlight the stories of several of their staff in order to bring more human connection to their policy and science work. I was the sole creator on this project, shaping the narrative, creating production schedules, one-man banding production, and polishing narratives in post. The final videos went onto to feature in environmental and fly fishing festivals across the country.
DAYMAKER THE SERIES
Created For: Outside Inc.
Role: Camera Operator and Editor
Warren Miller has been making ski movies for over 75 years. In this behind the scenes series we followed the production and brought a more intimate look to the people in front of and behind the camera. Across the series I helped shoot bts and shaped several of the story arcs. Over the past several years I've also been editing segments of the feature film that tours in theaters nationwide.
