I have produced, directed, DP'ed, gaffed, griped, edited and written over 20 short films, done several music videos and live concerts, worked on 3 documentaries and a feature length film.

The time has come to move on and my entire focus is now on gaining experience in the industry with some big companies and big names. Why rush getting out my first feature? The groundwork must be laid first and the connections must be made. After that and when the time is right, Sundog Pictures will start up and with careful planning and smart strategies, SDP will be a major player in the industry. I believe in Quality, Consistency and Profit.

Having worked (and still working) with the great Scott Rudin I've learned an enormous amount about the importance of Development and Pre-Production. You get these right the rest runs smoothly and I can't be grateful enough for learning these lessons.

The hope is to build a long lasting, profitable and great career first as a producer/editor/writer and as time goes on get back into the directors chair and put some focus on that as well.

I make movies because I love my craft and I love my career. There's nothing else I would rather be doing. The schedules are very rough and the rewards are phenomenal. Although in my career I call myself a producer, an editor, a writer the truth is my talent is storytelling. And if I have one primary reason I got into the film business it is exactly that.

To tell great and long lasting stories.
