This short film that I worked on last year as a gaffer is finally premiering at the Los Angeles Dark Comedy Film Festival! From May 29 - June 2.
“Jess is a Clown” will be screened in SHORTS BLOCK H. It’s competing in all award categories, including Audience Award. So buy your tickets and vote! The festival is virtual which means when you buy your ticket, you can view the film anytime during the week at home at your convenience. Buy tickets @darcomff (link in their bio)
“Jess is a Clown” is a witty, dark comedy horror, with so many twists and turns that it’ll make your head pop. No clowns were harmed in the making of this film. Link to trailer in my bio.

A month ago, I got to work as a Lighting Director for an awards show. There can be a lot of pressure working on a live show, since you only get one chance to get it right, but it was a lot of fun!
@avalonhollywood was a FANTASTIC venue. They had plenty of fixtures to work with and their staff accommodated us in every way. But the real mvp was the Tech Team, who programmed the lights and video with zero pre-light days and a 1.5 hour rehearsal. I cannot speak anymore highly of them. They made us and everyone on stage look amazing. We wouldn’t have a show without them.
Lastly, congratulations to all the nominees and winners! It was surreal to see some of the actors and actresses that I’ve admired or would never have dreamt of meeting all under one building. Thanks for inspiring us!

THROWBACK to working in Hong Kong—“Speedsters”
Gaffing on this #rollerblading, #action, #chasescene, #shortfilm was a HUGE highlight for me in this beautiful, vibrant city. I loved the natural colors already present from the city lights, and all I had to do was enhance and compliment them with the LEDs.

Had a blast running the lights for the legendary jazz musician, Georgie Fame, and his band. Such talent!

First time running DMX with led lights. It’s actually really simple when you understand it and really FUN! The time consuming part is programming all your scenes 😅
