Short Films I Shot and Edited"Five" (Clip)Adult Language, Adult content.
Watch the trailer and follow the url at the end to see the entire film.
Myspace.com/JonesyJohnnyFive was my first collaboration with my friends director Josh Skierski and actor John Allen Harrett. With a theme of "twisted", we limited ourselves to five minutes from title to the credits. This film was shot in one location over two evenings and edited in three days. It's amazing what can be improvised in that short time._______________________________________________________
_______________________________"Me!!Me!Me.Me,Me..." (Clip)Watch the trailer and follow the url at the end to see the entire film.
Myspace.com/JonesyJohnnyWith my friends director Josh Skierski and writer/producer Vivian Stone, (Whose arm we twisted BTW to act in this film) we attempted another five minute collaboration in one location. The challenge this time was to incorporate as many versions of Vivian into one scene without using green screen. But how was she able to share a drink with herself and a pair of dirty socks? Shooting this was brain-salad-surgery.________________________________________

TV Clips I Shot and Edited"Shen"I'm not going to waste your time trying to put down words to describe this little girl's courage. I shot this story on the island of Grenada_____________________________________________________
_________________________________"Al Letson"Al Letson is one of America's great artists, a master of the spoken word. A prolific playwright, actor, poet and teacher, I feel Al is more than capable of telling you about himself, so I won't write another word about him. We shot this on one afternoon in our neighborhood in Jax.You can find out more about Al at MySpace.com/Al_Letson_______________________________________
_______________________________________________Labor Camp (Clip 1)Labor Camp (Clip 2)Much of our country's produce is produced by people who live and work in dreadful conditions. It's the farm industry's dirty little secret. One that they would prefer most consumers not know about. When writer producer Clennon King and I arrived undercover as laborers on this camp in South Georgia, we witnessed a system of servitude reminiscent of the 1800's. A system which was aided by some members of the local law enforcement. An isolated case we thought, until we followed the money to some of the most common household names in the marketplace.These are two short excerpts from our year long coverage.___________________________________________________
