I redesigned my website, so I figure it’s a good time to give an update on what I’ve been working on.

Dano Johnson and I recently completed two ads for Democratic Texas Gubernatorial candidate Bill White and I’m currently finishing the first episode of the American Widow Project web-series. I’ve  just started work on a PSA for Voices of a Grateful Nation, a music video for Michael Des Barres (above), and editing on Charles Wiedman’s The Sinner.

I’ll be posting more information about all of these projects soon…
