General Information

When I was in high school, I met three really great friends, and together we made several movies in the years we were in high school. The first project, entitled Unsolved Problems was made for a class project in math class dealing with unsolved mathematical problems. The other two movies in the Unsolved Problems trilogy followed in later years, with another movie project for an English class done as well.

Since I have been in college, my interest has swayed towards film. I have made several short Super8 films for my Filmmaking class, and will now continue my work in film rather than video, working in Super8 and 16mm for the next few years.
