Work Experience

Director

I wrote, directed, and produced a Freakshow themed music video, CARNIVALIA, for the band, Viza. The video includes celebrities, Tiny Lister (Dark Knight, Friday) and horror icon, Angus Scrimm (Phantasm). It also has amazing prosthetic make up for the freaks and special in-camera effects. You can view the video on my profile, or go to the YouTube link here....
