Music Videos

My friend Graham and I have co-directed and co-edited music videos for our friends' bands. Man at Arms are punk in the Minutemen vein, while Fields of Industry are slow and folky. Goro was a put-on -- a grindcore band that played only once at a New Year's Eve house party.

Dax Visits Nicole

I and my friends Graham and Nicole wanted to take a stab at doing a web series, so we kept the premise simple -- every visit is me (playing a version of myself) visiting her (playing a version of herself). Below is the episode people seem to like best -- you can watch the rest here.

Promos

I write and produce promos at VH1. Working with editors is my favorite part -- timing the cut right, using the best section of the shot, tinkering around so that it all flows together.
