COURTING CHAOS – Crewing on a Feature Film in Venice Beach

On location in Venice Beach – working on a feature film – not a bad way to spend your summer vacation! For the last few weeks I’ve had the privilege of serving as a PA, and even an extra, on the set of New Zealand writer/director Alan Clay’s Courting Chaos. Over the next few weeks, […]

PLEASE KICK ME AROUND (LMU SFTV Film), Directed by Tyler Nicholas

This short film is my second out-of-class project for my LMU SFTV Film Production 200 course.  Again, the assignment didn’t allow us to have any dialogue. I wrote, directed, shot, edited, colored, and scored this film, with my friend, the awesome Mars Oliva, as my gaffer and AD.  Patrick Koocheradis starred in the film.  This […]

The Message (feature image 2)

THE MESSAGE (LMU SFTV Film), Directed by Tyler Nicholas

This short film is my first out-of-class assignment for the LMU SFTV Film Production 200 course.

Because I chose to film at a beach location […]

Sacred Heart Chapel

The Most Beautiful College Campus

LMU was founded in 1911 and encompasses approximately 150 acres high atop a bluff, providing unbelievable views of everything from Marina del Rey and the Pacific Ocean to the Los Angeles Basin and the Hollywood sign. Every day at LMU is an amazing experience.  There are so many reasons why I’m happy to be here […]

Commencement

LMU’s Centennial Commencement

As my freshman year comes to an end, the LMU campus is preparing to say goodbye to the Centennial Graduates of the Class of 2012. The entire Sunken Garden is a sea of white chairs in preparation for Commencement, with the length of Alumni Mall in the backdrop.  It’s impossible to walk past the stage […]

Santa Monica Pier (April 2011)

WELCOME!

Welcome to my brand new website and BLOG! For as long as I can remember, I’ve been a storyteller — creating films, videos and performances that express my personal vision of the world. Well, I’ve decided that, later this summer of 2011, I’ll be relocating to Los Angeles to pursue a Bachelor of Arts in Film […]

Chapman Panther

College Visits

OK, even though I applied to several colleges and have been accepted to all of them except USC already, I’ve narrowed it down to only three schools; Loyola Marymount University, Chapman University and USC.  They have the best film schools, and after touring all three, my decision became a little easier. It might surprise some […]
