Documentaries & Promotional Videos
One of the greatest joys in my work is helping people tell their story. Whether it's a business informing the public about their services, a non-profit raising funds for future projects, or artists preserving their work for history, video is the modern medium by which we communicate with the wider world. I LOVE collaborating with clients to transform their ideas into effective digital stories.

Dr. Henry Sullivan - Book promo video
Yes, I do more than just make book promo videos. However, I wanted to include this video about Dr. Henry Sullivan's book of poetry because I've had multiple occasions to work with him and every time we've met I've been touched by his written words and his calming spirit. We captured a little bit of his magic here.
