On Sunday we shot the music video for the alternative, pop, indi, rock band, Monroe. Running around NYC with a small crew and shooting some amazing views was a lot of fun. Here are some random pics I squeezed in throughout the day:          

2011 was an amazing year. Not only did I get inducted to the Nikon Emerging Photographer Hall of Fame, but we also released four music videos. I’m very excited to compile them all into my 2012 Director’s reel. I’m hoping that we’ll be able to release even more videos in 2012. Special thanks goes out [...]

Happy 2012! I hope you all had a great New Year. We’ve been busy refreshing the portfolio and shooting some new projects. I’ve refocused my photography into a more focused style which will roll out over the next few months. I’m excited to show you one of the first images for this new style. Check [...]

YouTube Version Here it is! The new music video for Brooklyn based hip hop artist, MoneyRaye. We had to shoot this video in five hours including a dialogue scene. We just made the cut off point right before they were going to kick us out of the space, lol. It was an intense experience, but [...]

Whoops, almost forgot to mention that a film I produced (last year? Was it that long ago?) will be showing at the Fractured Lens Film Festival in Chicago. The film was written and directed by Rey Villar and, I believe, this is the second festival to accept the film. Congratulations Rey! We submitted the film [...]

I’m producing an animated kids show at the moment and putting together a team of people. I’m looking for a writer of Filipino descent, familiar with Tagalog and Filipino culture. Familiarity with linguistics and children a plus. We’re also looking at animators, recording facilities for voice over and mixing, sound effects design and DVD mastering [...]

It’s been a busy week! Last week I met with Christina Varotsis who just co-produced The Merry Gentleman starring and directed by Michael Keaton. The movie was shot locally and is playing around town right now. It’s a really nice, quiet film about a hitman who’s tired of his life until he meets a woman [...]

Ahhh, at long last the short film Reunion is finished! This is a short I jumped on to help co-produce for Rey Villar back in the summer of ’08. I think we shot it around June or July. We managed to get it in for the Chicago Filipino Asian American Film Festival in September in, [...]
