Always Be Creating
Filmmaking is fun! Regardless of your level of expertise, it's always great to test new theories and learn new approaches to image creation and storytelling.
Dynamic Range
My style is influenced by high contrast scenes of lights and shadows. Here are some clips experimenting with natural light. I used only large windows for light to create scenes with a broad dynamic range.

A New Resource for Actors
A space I've been working on for actors to tape auditions is finally here. Actors can record their auditions and have it edited in the same sitting. Actors can also choose their backdrop and lighting setup/look to set the mood for their scenes. In turn, I get to practice different types of lighting, learn new ways to communicate, fortify relationships, and collaborate.
