Recently completed work as Editor on a short-film submission to the 48-Hour Film Festival in New York. Our group, NineCat, placed second out of over 50 teams in the competition. We walked away with the “Runner-Up” award, as well as “Best Actor”, awarded to Daniel Luckas for his outstanding performance. Directed by Gregory Rocco, produced by Michael Goldstein, and written by Richard Gorey. Cinematography by Michael Mastroserio.

Conceived, written, filmed, edited, and released within 48-Hours. Enjoy “THE DARK”!

Just completed work on the website for Bryce Training & Consulting. This was a quick site where the client wanted static pages that effectively conveyed information regarding their personal business. The initial design was presented to me in a PowerPoint-based mock-up. I translated the ideas into HTML, and arranged images accordingly.

I also began work for Film and Photography client, Michael Mastroserio. I’ll post more once the website is in a functional state.

Finally completed some work on the Alienhand Productions website. Got them up and running with a simple HTML layout, Flash-based banner and some custom graphics. Further down the road will be a total overhaul on the infrastructure, swapping over to PHP to get them up and running with a more automated update system. Check it out!

District Web-Master

I just got approved as District Web-Master for the local school district here. I’m very excited to begin working on this new project with them.

Going to be modifying the ‘Affiliates’ section to include clients I’ve produced work for. I figure the space will serve better as a visual résumé.

The M.A.G.S.’s new album, “Get Lucky”, will be going live rather soon. Go buy a CD!
