He is also a director for Back Alley Films , a commercial/new media production company which "brings an A-list of right and left coast directors to a traditionally under-served part of the country - the middle: home of ultra-creative writers, art directors and designers with flat accents but lush mindscapes."

He pays particular attention to running a comfortable set and approaches each project with a boundless, explorative outlook. He places importance on room for improvisation while consistently maintaining a high level of procedure and organization.
