Yesterday I crewed something a little different! It was a live streaming event for Zumiez Inc — the multinational specialty retailer of apparel, footwear, accessories and hardgoods for young men and women headquartered in Lynwood, WA — featuring guest host Blake Webber at a very cool place called The House Studios in Seattle. We had […]
If you’d told 9 year old me (who collected MLB baseball caps and miniature NFL football helmets for each team) that, one day, I’d work in such close proximity to major league professional sports, I would have flipped out. And if you’d told teenage me, who had lost interest in sports entirely in lieu of […]
The 2018 USA Special Olympic Games took place in Seattle July 1-6, 2018, and I was there to shoot them. More than 4,000 athletes and coaches from all 50 states and the District of Columbia competed in 14 different sports across the best facilities in the greater Seattle region. This year’s Games celebrated the 50th […]
Last year my work at UWTV got even more interesting, because in addition to working on the national PBS television show Well READ (which I really enjoy), I had the opportunity to be a part of the TV crew for UW Huskies Football home games at Husky Stadium. Being on the field was exciting because I got to […]
Sorry it’s been so long since I’ve added anything to my blog or updated my website, but I’ve been CRAZY busy all year. #NOTcomplaining. I’ve been working regularly as part of the UWTV crew, adding camera operator to my list of jobs there. My ongoing gig with Well READ — seen on over 250 public television stations, covering 84 percent […]
This summer I signed on to be a member of the production crew at UW Video. UW Video, located on the University of Washington Seattle campus, is a complete video production studio with state of the art equipment, professional staff (including me) and technical expertise. When I joined UW Video, my first gig was working […]
I was nominated to be one of only 22 juniors at LMU selected to participate in the LMU Regent Mentor Program. Each student is paired with a member of the LMU Board of Regents who is a working professional in the industry that coincides with the student’s major. As a film production major/theatre minor, I […]
Awards Season is upon us and, once again, I attended the People’s Choice Awards, courtesy of Gotham Casting. The 40th Annual People’s Choice Awards were held last night at the Nokia Theatre, hosted by Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs. Plenty of A-listers were there to accept their awards like Sandra Bullock, Adam Sandler, Britney Spears, Robert […]
In the midst of the first week of Fall classes at LMU, working on Alan Clay’s feature film Courting Chaos, finding out I was nominated and selected to participate in the LMU Regent Mentor Program, and getting involved in the early stages of preparations for Film Outside the Frame 2013, I received an unexpected email from the multi-award […]
Brilliant director David Fincher whose film work includes Seven, The Game, Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, and The Social Network, and, most recently, The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo was at LACMA tonight and brought along the first two episodes of the U.S. adaptation of the BBC miniseries House of Cards. Fincher […]
This week’s certainly been busy, in part, because I was lucky enough to score a gig as an onstage audience member (thanks, Gotham Casting!) for the 39th Annual People’s Choice Awards, Wednesday night at the Nokia Theater. As events played out, I ended up inviting a good friend, Shannon Wagner (who appeared in a couple of my early […]
The first Monday Night Series at LMU SFTV was a big hit. We were honored to have as our guest writer/producer Graham Yost, known for writing blockbuster films like Speed, Broken Arrow, and Hard Rain, and for the screenplays for Mission to Mars and The Last Castle. Most recently, however, he’s riding high as the […]
NEW: VIDEO SCREEN CAPS ADDED TO PHOTO GALLERY (scroll halfway down) On Friday, I taped my second appearance as a student-host on FXM Presents’ Life After Film School. Our guests were Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton — the directing team of this year’s upcoming, Ruby Sparks, the much-anticipated second movie from the multi-talented co-directors of 2006’s Best Picture nominee and multiple Academy […]
There’s been a BIG change in the way Life After Film School is being aired on the re-branded FX Movie Channel. Instead of the traditional weekly half-hour timeslots that were the norm in previous seasons on “Fox Movie Channel”, LAFS is now part of a larger collection of behind-the-scenes “interstitial” programming broadcast under the “FXM Presents” brand […]
Looks like Hart Hanson enjoyed his afternoon with us at life after film school even more than WE did. Check out his Twitter feed from last night … !
Hart Hanson, creator of some of the most watched primetime television of the past decade – including FOX’s long-running crime drama, Bones, and his latest show, 2012’s The Finder – was a recent guest on life after film school. I wasn’t scheduled to host that day, but our director, Josh, invited all of us to […]
The latest Monday Night Movie Series featured James Wong, LMU Alum and currently writer/producer of American Horror Story on FX. We had the opportunity to watch a new episode of the show and then participate in a Q&A that covered much of his best known feature work. His film credits include Final Destination, Final Destination 3 and The One, […]
The second 2012 episode of life after film school — featuring actor/comedian, Chris Parnell, and my first on-screen turn as co-host — will be airing soon on the FX Movie Channel! You might already know Chris as Dr. Spaceman on 30 Rock or Fred Shay on Suburgatory. Or, you might be one of the millions who enjoyed his legendary raps from […]
The season premiere of life after film school (the one I observed, but didn’t host) is airing now! If you haven’t seen it, you might want to check it out, especially if you’re a fan of Justified — Walton Goggins (Justified’s Boyd Crowder) was 2012’s first guest and got the season off to a great start. If you’re not […]
Fox Movie Channel chose several film students to share the co-hosting responsibilities on life after film school. That means that each of us will miss out on the opportunity to appear on certain episodes. Naturally, we’re all eager for our first appearance on the show. But, even though I wasn’t chosen as a host for the taping […]
