2021 has been a great year for me and NightRunner Productions. Here are just a few of the projects I have been blessed to work on...
You're My Person - jewelry commercial I wrote and directed. I got the chance to work with a gorgeous classic 55 Chevy and incorporate my love of Hitchcock in tone and camera movement.
Butterfly - location sound for this one, I was fortunate to be able to spend 5 days on this one in some great locations in Dayton and surrounding areas, including a winery and a mansion. Butterfly has been tearing up the festival circuit worldwide.
Joel - post apocalyptic commercial for a Bible Study book. I got the opportunity to write and direct this one, and the blessing to use green screen in an outdoor setting.
Dirt Diamonds - location sound in a very unique set of environments - the world of sprint car racing. Nothing like feeling the rush of 20 or so 900 hp cars roar by you as you stand just outside the track getting a nice dusting of dirt! Great fun for a documentary on the sport and the lives of some of the racers.
That's been the high points for 2021, for which I am very grateful to have been a part. I'm looking forward to more great opportunities and blessings coming in 2022!

Beautiful night to be out filming last night at the dirt track!
Beautiful day for some audio at the raceway!
At the races for a documentary shoot!
On a farm today...lots of cows and donkeys but thankfully no cicadas!
At a mansion in Ohio filming more of Butterfly The Short, and the cicadas are whirring quite loudly much to a sound recordists dismay🙄...but it was a beautiful day and fun action packed set!
On the set of Butterfly last weekend filming at a winery in southern Ohio.
Filming for the third episode of my planned first season of YouTube videos which will be based on location sound techniques among other fun topics!
Really cool project I was privileged to be part of this past weekend! This is a sweet and quick look behind the scenes and sums up the low to no budget indie film scene quite nicely!

Working on a commercial for a line of jewelry my friend is creating - target dates for filming are weekends of June 12/13 or alternate dates June 19/20.
Location needs are: thrift storefront and a space to act as a thrift store interior that can be decorated with cobwebs, etc. to look abandoned and old, and a lightly traveled road for the car scenes.
Additional needs are: classic car, line producer, set decorator (for thrift store interior), makeup, gaffer.
If interested, please DM me OR reply to [email protected]
New set protocol cards - feel free to download and use! These can be printed front/back on 4" x 6" stock, and can help in keeping things efficient on set!

"The more nearly the film cutter approaches this law of natural interest, the more invisible will be his cutting. If the camera moves from one person to the next at the exact moment that one in the legitimate theatre would have turned his head, one will not be conscious of a cut. If the camera misses by a quarter of a second, one will get a jolt." Preston Sturges (from the book - The Art of the Cut - Editing Concepts Every Filmmaker Should Know)
