"ESSENCE" kickstarter COMING SOON!

With "BROTHER" coming to a close in the festival circuit, I am directing a new animated short called "Essence". It tells the story of the soul of a candle flame who strives to survive, but realizes he only has a few moments to live. My co-producers and I will be posting a Kickstarter in the coming months to help us fund this ambitious project. Please stay tuned. Here is a sneak peak of some art work by a couple of our artists, Jon Upton and Zach Brunner.

"Brother" update and new short

I haven't posted in a while- been super busy with work.  It's a lame excuse.  Anyway..  "Brother" won best student short at the American Pavilion Emerging Filmmaker Showcase, and took 3rd place in the animation category at the College Television Awards.  It is also a recent official selection of the Palm Springs International Shorts Fest.  I'm very excited to be part of this year's program.

There was an awesome article posted recently on SVA's blog about the film:

Here is the Brother trailer that was done a while ago, but I don't know why I never posted:




I am directing another animated short.  We are in pre-pro right now, and I am really loving the style the film has already taken.  It will be called Essence.  More details and artwork to come.

College Television Awards

I am nominated in the animation category for the College Television Awards!  Thanks to everyone who helped out on my film.  I wouldn't have been able to do it without you.  The gala will take place at the J.W. Marriott in LA on April 25th 2013.

Exciting News

I haven't been posting that much since the end of my thesis, partly because of laziness, but mostly because I've been freelancing a lot.  So, I can't share the work I've been doing until it's out in the public.  I did get some pretty exciting news this month though.

I'm in two academy qualifiers =]:

Cinequest Film Festival 2013 - Student Shorts
Atlanta Film Festival 2013  - Adult Animated Short Films

And I'm a finalist in the College Emmys (College Television Awards) in the animation category!  Even if I don't get nominated, I'm truly honored to have made it this far.  Good luck to all other finalists!

Snapdragon!

It was awesome working on this spot. I did some 3D assets, and a bit of texturing. Made by Framestore NY.
