About Me

View my Resume here: http://resume.imdb.com/resume/view/?rid=73727
I am a filmmaker and have been pursuing the dream since I first made a film back in 1997. Eleven years and still working hard.
I run and operate Solar Shock Pictures with partners Justin Beecher and Gregory Andersen, which has been and will always be dedicated to the art of indie, guerilla styled films.
Together, our filmography includes;
The Letter
Juxtaposition
Guardian
The Game Plan
Self Isolation
The Game Plan: Part 2
We are currently in post production on a film called 'Elysium', and in pre-production on several other films including 'No Experience Necessary', 'Four and Twenty Black Birds', and 'The Jar 3' to name a few.
Solar Shock joined with Comcast Utah and we currently produce 2 regular TV shows with them. They include "At the Movies", and "The Screening Room".
We are also in production on Utah's first narrative TV series with 'The Game Plan' which will begin airing in May exclusively on Comcast OnDemand.

My Interests

Film-making. All areas. I love directing short / feature films. My role in life is to be behind a camera. I am a stylish cinematographer and an editor.
I love going to the movies. Nothing beats the theater going experience with a crowd that enjoys it as much as you do.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to meet the following filmmakers:
Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, David Fincher, Danny Boyle, Alfonso Cuaron, Guillermo Del Toro, Darren Aronofsky, Bryan Singer, Joel Schumacher, Richard Kelly, Christopher Nolan, Mark Pellington, Spike Jonze, and Wes Anderson.

I would also like to meet myself. I have very few opportunities to meet with me and discover who I truly am. I can honestly tell you that the closest anyone has to have met me is when I am working on a movie.

Music:

Coldplay, The Fray, Snow Patrol, The Killers, Gary Jules, Howie Day, Pearl Jam, The Smashing Pumpkins, Marilyn Manson, Goo Goo Dolls, Oingo Boingo, Matchbox Twenty, The All-American Rejects, REM, Three Days Grace, Madonna, and anything by Danny Elfman

Books:

My favorite book is 'The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy and Other Stories' by Tim Burton.
I love anything by Neil Gaiman and Chuck Pahlanuik. Gaiman wrote Neverwhere, American Gods, and Good Omens. Pahlanuik wrote Fight Club, Choke, and Lullaby.
I like the Harry Potter books, plus Red Dragon, The Silence of the Lambs, and Hannibal.
