About Me
In a nutshell...
I divide my time working as a writer, director, and colorist. Based in Manhattan, I do grading and finishing in my dedicated color correction suite for a wide variety of broadcast programming, narrative and documentary features and shorts, spots, and experimental subjects. I've color-corrected programs that have aired on Mojo HD, The History Channel, BBC Four, and WNET; features and shorts I've graded have played at the Telluride, Sundance, Tribeca, Hamptons, and Amsterdam film festivals, among others; video art pieces I've done post-production for have been exhibited at San Francisco's Yerba Buena Center for the Arts and the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York. You can check my IMDB listing to see my latest specific credits.
Drawing on my expertise in Final Cut Studio workflows, I've written extensively about color correction and post-production with a column in "Edit Well" (now excerpted in Edit Well: Final Cut Studio Techniques from the Pros) and books including the "Encyclopedia of Color Correction" and "Advanced Color Correction and Effects in Final Cut Pro." Working for Apple computer, I wrote Final Cut Studio: Workflows, as well as the user manuals for Color 1.0 and 1.5, Shake 4, and Final Cut Pro versions 2, 3, and 4. Finally, on behalf of RED DIGITAL CINEMA, I wrote the RED Final Cut Studio 2 Whitepaper.
As a director, my hands-on knowledge of the post process helps me to maximize resources by taking advantage of technology to improve what's being done on set, while avoiding an over-reliance on "fix-it-in-post" solutions that are more expensive (and painful) to do later. My feature "Four Weeks, Four Hours" has screened at Manhattan's NewFilmmakers series, and the Colorado Breckenridge, Salento Italy, Portland Longbaugh, Toronto ReelHeART, Hollywood FAIF, and San Fernando Valley film festivals.
I'm currently in the midst of developing Starship Detritus, an animated science fiction series for the web, as well as another as-yet unpublicised feature.
