These are a few of my personal projects.
The Take
This is a short I wrote, directed, and edited for a contest sponsored by Comcast as part of the gone-but-not-forgotten Longbaugh Film Festival. Our film was the runner-up, which I think is supposed to sound more prestigious than second place.
Stumptown
This video is a personal project, conceived and created with my partner, Christian Dolan, shot by Dan Morris, and featuring the professionally handsome and hilarious Spencer Conway. Christian directed, I edited. This was a lot of fun, and we hope to do more in the not-too-distant future.
I, Santa
Originally, this was edited to Vince Guaraldi's, Happiness Is. It only showed once in that form, for obvious reasons. Our friend Rob Weston generously wrote us a lovely piece of music, sometimes an editor falls in love with music she just can't have. Feel free to cue it up on your own, à la Dark Side of the Moon/Wizard of Oz.
The Dearly Departed Longbaugh Film Festival
This video is near and dear to my heart, but was part of a bittersweet experience. I was asked to create a promo for the Longbaugh Film Festival, and was so flattered and excited! I had a blast writing, directing, and editing the piece, and I was thrilled with the outcome. Unfortunately, the duplication service for the festival thought the dark lighting was a mistake and tried to color correct the video. The ruined version played before every screening of the festival that year. Thankfully, my name wasn’t on it then, but I’m proud to share it now!
