Porsche set out to showcase how their cars inspire the people who live with them every day. I was responsible for storyboarding, directing, and editing this film, which follows Phillip Riggs through the nonstop pace of his work as a commercial producer. After the chaos, his Porsche 964 becomes the one place where he can breathe, reset, and think clearly. The film captures that contrast and the calm he finds behind the wheel.

Sony approached us to help announce the Sony PDT and show how it is used in real motorsport environments by the team at GPX. I worked closely with Sony to understand the message they wanted to communicate and shaped it into a clear narrative, handling the ideation and storyboarding for the film. The project was a three day production involving race cars, a full camera car setup, interviews, and fast paced action coverage. My goal was to create something that was both informative and cinematic, presenting the technology clearly while keeping the film exciting and enjoyable to watch.

Thema is an eyeglass company that wanted a film that felt clean, playful, and professional. The story follows a critic who enters their facility expecting to judge the product, only to be pleasantly surprised by the craft and quality behind it. I worked closely with the Thema team to understand how they wanted their brand to be portrayed and to shape their initial ideas into a clear and engaging narrative. The production involved planning and executing a series of visual effects shots, since the critic has the ability to teleport from scene to scene. The final film blends fun, cheeky moments with a polished visual style, creating something entertaining while still presenting the brand with clarity and sophistication.

This project for Porsche, called Who You Share It With, follows a couple driving their classic 911SC along the California coast. The goal was to show the car in a warm, personal way, focusing on the small moments they share together and ending with a quiet walk on the pier. The shoot was done with a small mobile crew and a car to car setup using the Ronin 4D for quick, flexible coverage with anamorphic lenses. Porsche wanted a social piece that felt genuine and sentimental, highlighting the charm of an older Porsche and the memories people create with it.

Porsche wanted to highlight the versatility of the Porsche Cayenne and how naturally it fits into any environment. This film follows a couple exploring the California wilderness, moving from beaches to mountains to desert roads, and capturing the small moments they share along the way. The production took place over two days. The first day was dedicated to car to car shots using the camera arm, and the second day focused on the couple’s journey through each environment. We kept the crew small and mobile so we could move quickly and work through everything from heavy rain to full sun. The goal was to keep the film simple and natural, showing how capable and comfortable the Cayenne is in any setting.

Our goal was to capture Rimowa's Seit 1898 exhibition in New York, a showcase celebrating the brand’s 125 year history and the evolution of travel. The exhibit features over one hundred archive cases, artistic collaborations, rare privately owned pieces, and designs that reflect the cultural and technological changes that shaped modern travel. We covered the entire exhibition with a small, mobile crew, filming everything in just a few hours. The goal was to create a straightforward visual record of the space, the details, and the atmosphere of the event as guests experienced it.
