About Me

As a filmmaker, professional sound designer and musician/DJ, I'm committed to working on projects to embolden creativity. I recently retooled my home recording studio with a 24 channel Soundcraft analog mixing console. I'm also working on a high definition short film at the moment. For more information, check out: www.distortionproductions.com/tripfallUPDATE: Shooting on my short film titled "The Tripping Fall" is officially wrapped! More details in the blog section.

Day in the Desert

It was an interesting day. I'm trying my best to wrap up the film this weekend. I took the company out to Lancaster on Avenue K. We looked around a bit, and found an area that had Joshua Trees and ...
