HEARTLINE TAKES THE CALL
LENGTH: 3 min

I personally listened to over three and a half hours of actually calls from Heartline in order to create the story behind this dramatization. We follow five Oklahoman’s in need and how they find help and hope in Heartline.

ADDT: OKC 48 Hour Film Project
This was a lot of fun working with some of the most talented actors and crew. I took on the role as editor and cinematographer this time which was quite difficult juggling that with directing. A lively and funny piece in the vain of Scooby Doo with a more modern scheme.
ROUND
LENGTH: 4.5 min
GENRE: SciFi Thriller
STATUS: Complete, FESTIVAL RUN
PRODUCTION COMPANY: Elephant Treehouse
A personal project that came from a writing exercise I came up with with a few fellow screenwriters. 3 pages, 2 characters, 1 location.
I ended up liking mine enough to produce it thanks to Eric Piper for allowing his space, The Resonator, be the set for this short film. I’m glad we got to use it before they switched locations.Starring Gary Wales, Kyle Pennington, and Brad Bishop, with music from Josh Carpenter, this is one of my favorite productions of the year.

This short was such a blast to make. Jay Dee and I had worked all day in Tulsa and as soon as we arrived in Oklahoma City, we set foot onto another set. He is one of the most talented actors I’ve had the pleasure of working with several times.
