Description

Film making and photography has been apart of my life for as long as I can remember. I studied Radio, Television and Film in college and worked full-time in film and video production years ago. I chose a different career field in aviation as a professional pilot.

I have always had a motivation to return to film production. I now have a production company, Bluesideup Films, and have acquired a complete set of production equipment including 4K & 6K camera to lighting and audio as well as a Steadicam, Jib, Dana Dolly and Drone for production. In the last seven years I have been Director of Photography on many short films, commercials, interviews, episodic TV series and many full length feature films.

I am technically minded and have a good eye for framing and the art of cinematography. I am very thorough in my preparation and have a strong working knowledge of all aspects of production. I look forward to adding to my experience in digital film production.
