Client Work
I've been lucky to work with many incredible corporate partners and local production companies, including Academy-Award nominee Richard Linklater, Austin's The Bear, and others.
Detour FilmProduction & Hit Man
Summer of 2022 I got the privilege of interning at Detour Filmproduction, Richard Linklater's production company. During my internship, Detour was preparing for and then producing Hit Man, starring Glen Powell. The film premiered at the Venice Film Festival and was later acquired by Netflix. I also got to be on set for a series of political ads that Linklater directed, produced by local Austin production company The Bear.
Uvalco Supply
January of 2025 I was the Assistant Camera on a commercial shoot for Uvalco Supply out in Uvalde, Texas.
Getting hands-on experience in commercial work - while collaborating with my peers - was not only a lot of fun, but also creatively necessary.
Wedding Videography
I've had the pleasure of filming weddings for those looking for something slightly different than the hyper-cinematic style that's standard in the industry now. My approach ultimately strives for a more personalized home-movie feel instead of a cookie-cutter one-size-fits-all mentality. If you'd like to see some of the wedding videos I've done, or talk to the wedding parties I've worked with, I'd be happy to connect you!
