Hello,

What happens to you when you learn your partner will need a heart and lung transplant to survive? Box of Matches approached me with their single Two Kinds of Sadness which was to be released as a part of a larger EP. They wanted to create a narrative music video to help promote the release of their EP. The song Two Kinds of Sadness is about the band leader's experience waiting for their partner to get a heart and lung transplant. The music video tells the story of how he learned his partner would need the transplant, and the feeling of dread that infused his life in the months waiting for the call.

FrameUp is the essential director’s viewfinder for professional filmmakers. It combines an uncompromised viewfinder with highly customizable and intuitive controls to help you visualize and create your best shots. Using your phone, you can simulate any combination of lenses and sensors, while aspect ratio overlays allow you to monitor exactly what will appear in the final image. When you find the frame you like, just double-tap to save an image with metadata burned in to share with collaborators.

I worked with the director/writer of this film, Rem Valatka, to craft a look specific to their vision for the story. The look was developed in preproduction and turned into LUTs for use on set and to be burned into the dailies and DI. The motif of repetitive days is an important part of the film. I used the same camera angles for each day to convey conformity and intentionally broke from it when changes happened in the story. Handheld was used sparingly to emphasize unsteadiness. The film was shot on a RED Gemini and Zeiss Contax lenses and graded in Resolve. An ACES pipeline was used throughout production to maintain authorial intent throughout the imaging pipeline.

Nicole Phungrasamee Fein's art is meticulously detailed. Every line and stroke is carefully thought out. I worked with her to create an online showcase of her work, giving the experience of being in a exhibition of her work online. Thin lines and strong grids make up her site, while copious white space reflects her artworks' personality.

With only a plot of trash to start, two farmers create the only healthy food option in a neighborhood. This short documentary explores the stories of two founders of the Florence Fang Community Farm in the Bayview district in San Francisco. Established in 2014, the farm is the only healthy food option in the neighborhood. Over the course of half a year, I created a short documentary about how this unique farm was founded and its impact in the community.

Every week at the South Burlington Foodshelf, the director, Pedro, comes in with a new set of remarkably clever hand written trivia. Each week he gleefully reads them aloud to the volunteers and grins when they are stumped. I built this website to serve as an archive of his work and to allow more people to enjoy it. The site is built with Sveltekit and is updated regularly.
