Looking for a good laugh? Kelsey brings the belly laughs.
(on Hulu)

Kelsey got divorced one week before the pandemic. Perfect timing. So while her friends used the time to get sober or get fit, Kelsey spent the pandemic getting used to divorced life. Hear about it in her hilarious new hour, The Hustler.

A lot of the time, I'm brought in to help execute a DP’s or Director's vision. In fact, 98% of the time that seems to be true.

This piece with G.B.'s TE Tucker Kraft was no different.

This had a lot of moving parts.
Very little time with the talent based on his schedule.
A new DP to work with.
Cameras and gear that were all rented.

I was fortunate enough to help out as second camera and AC.

Dig into this one. It's fun.

One of the most interesting shoots came in the form of a documentary for the Oneida Tribe this year.
Lead by semi-retired scholar/author, Larry Hauptman and our courageous leader, Producer Michelle Danforth-Anderson, we've uncovered some deep indigenous stories.
We flew to Albany in October in order to capture some of Larry's in-depth talks.
