This is a poster I shot and designed for Divine Comedy advertising.
"Unhinged" at the LDS Film Festival
Tonight the short film I directed, “Unhinged” played in the 8th Annual LDS Film Festival. There was a big crowd there who seemed to really respond well to the film. At the conclusion of the film there were quite a few gasps at the surprise ending. I even overheard a group of people after the screening talking about how much they enjoyed “Unhinged’s” last few moments. The best part of the night was at the awards ceremony when we found out that a panel of judges gave us an honorable mention! Not shabby!
"Unhinged" Updates
“Unhinged” has been accepted into the Beverly Hills Hi-Def Film Festival. I will hopefully fly down to enjoy the other films and meet people.
Also, we just found out that “Unhinged” won an Accolade Merit award! I will keep posting any news as it comes!
Photo Illustration
My last photo assignment we were given the chance to do whatever we wanted to show off our photoshop skills. I decided that I wanted to creep people out.

Film V. HD
I love film like I love my wife and I’ll never cheat on either of them. I had to shoot HD. I didn’t like it. It felt alien. Not natural. Not human. People who don’t know film talk about HD like its some kind of secret weapon. But for me the only place digital belongs is in post, where it can help unlock film’s potential. Technology is good at making things better. It fails when it tries to replace or synthesize something that’s already perfect. The fact is, when you shoot HD you hope it looks like film. No one ever shoots film hoping to emulate HD.

New Divine Comedy Poster
This is the new Divine comedy poster where we spoof James Bond. I shot the images and my friend Katie helped tweak stuff in photoshop.
Interpretive Self Portraits
The first day of my black and white photography class a year ago I was asked what superpower I would love to have. I chose to be able to handle fire without being burned. This week’s assignment in digital photography was to shoot an “interpretive” self portrait. I felt the fire accurately describes my stress at the moment and my hopes to withstand it without being charred.

Photoshop assignment
This week I had to combine several images together to describe what a perfect world would look like. This is what I came up with. All the images used I have taken over the last year.
