About Me

My interests include filmmaking, animation and interactivity. Currently I am producing A SCANNER DARKLY (2006) which is based on the novel by Philip K. Dick, directed by Richard Linklater and starring Keanu Reeves. My love for storytelling and technology was recognized by Microsoft’s Research and Development team where I helmed an interactive project based on Jonathan Lethem’s novel AMNESIA MOON (2004). I also directed the first machinima music video IN THE WAITING LINE (2003) using the animation engine from the Quake 3 video game and the rotoscoped MTV “Breakthrough Video” DESTINY (2002), both for the band ZERO 7. I first connected Richard Linklater with animation by producing the feature film WAKING LIFE (2001). I have also produced several short animated films that have won numerous awards and screened internationally, including SNACK AND DRINK (2000), which resides as part of a permanent collection in the New York Museum of Modern Art.
