Every film and video I've ever made in reverse chronological order, The Order Of The Gods they say. I've grouped the embeds into two categories: projects made during my NYU years and projects from throughout my middle and high school years in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Finally Mom and Dad, here they are, all in one convenient spot. Thanks so much for all the support. For everyone else who discovers this page, I hope you both enjoy it.

If you're having trouble with the embeds, everything's also on Vimeo and Youtube.
