This video was produced for Kiva, a Web site where anyone can give loans to help small businesses around the world. They were chosen to compete against four other entrepreneurship nonprofits to win $1 million as part of Sam’s Club’s ‘Giving Made Simple’ Contest – with this video as the main source of information for Sam’s Club members to base their voting decisions.

After being briefed by the organization about their goals and expectations for the video, I developed a concept and approach that used a successful entrepreneur’s story to touch upon the successes and goals of Kiva itself. I then shot, edited and produced the final video, which was seen by millions of Sam’s Club members and resulted in a winning $1 million campaign.

I edited this explainer promo for The Quotidian, an ongoing documentary project I founded about how everyday people are finding new ways to change their communities. I also shot all of the footage in the video, which are from various documentaries that have been produced as part of the project.

How do you throw amazing parties and create awareness at the same time? That’s the challenge being taken on by Party Corps, an organization dedicated to throwing parties for the benefit of startup nonprofits.

This documentary that I shot, edited and co-produced follows Party Corps through all their trials and tribulations as they take us through the early planning stages to the night of the big show.

I edited this promo for a novelty iPhone app that gives you those hip-hop grills you’ve always wanted – but without the commitment.

This is a video of the popular British folk rock band Mumford and Sons that I shot for JustinTimberlake.com consisting of interview and concert footage shot with two handheld Canon 5Ds.

Here’s a teaser trailer I produced, shot and edited for a documentary about Party Corps, an organization throwing some huge parties in the San Francisco Bay Area to help spread awareness and raise money for local startup nonprofits.

In this documentary, we find out what’s cooking at Mission Street Food, an occasional restaurant in San Francisco that’s become a local phenomenon with national attention. We also visit a couple charitable organizations to see how money donated from the event is being used to benefit the community, and finally, we take a look at how MSF’s charitable model might be replicated in a neighborhood near you.

I produced, shot and edited this film.

Here is a ‘teaser’ video for ‘Current Tonight,’ a daily topical news and culture half-hour show that I edited for Current TV. The show featured a mix of top headlines, quirky offbeat news, viral videos and pop culture, with as many stories as possible contributed by our online interactive audience.

I served primarily as one of two video editors for the show, sourcing, editing and packaging newsfeed footage, stills and motion graphics with a quick turnaround and strict delivery deadlines.

This is one of a series of short informational and promotional videos that I conceived, designed, produced and edited as part of Current’s Earth Day programming, as well as serving as a promotional vehicle for the launch of Current’s online Green channel.

The goal was to present a video segment for both television and online that was both interactive, informational and relevant to environmental issues. Working with an online producer, I developed a concept that would ask our audience to submit common environment-related questions that would then in turn be answered by notable green bloggers whose participation could help build cross-platform support for Current’s green channel.

I also designed the look and feel of these segments, and after the best questions and answers were compiled, I produced and edited the final product, which was not only seen by Current’s viewers but on popular sites such as the Huffington Post, Treehugger and Grist.org.

This is an example of an Under the Radar segment that I produced for Current from concept to execution. The idea was to build a destination on Current’s web site and television presence that would serve as a hub for people discovering new and interesting events going on in their local area. The audience could submit information online about their favorite upcoming events, and then we would in turn pick the best submissions for inclusion in television programming.

This campaign had one of the highest rates of participation on the network and was sponsored by T-Mobile’s Sidekick phone, which the segment graphics are based on.

This video takes a look at a couple of online-only documentaries that examine the movements for and against digital copyright reform and interview the artists and activists with a stake in the debate.

I wrote and produced this short news segment for Current TV, selecting appropriate film clips and licensing footage from the filmmakers, writing the script and working with an editor to assemble the final product.

This short documentary follows some of the individuals who participated in San Francisco’s Park(ing) Day, an annual event where parking spaces in cities worldwide are taken over and transformed into public gathering places.

I produced and edited this film, as well as shot the majority of the footage using only a Flip Video camera.

Every year, bicycle messengers from around the world come together to challenge each other at the North American Cycle Courier Championships in a series of events, from races to tricks and feats of skill. This film takes a look at the vibrant culture happening at the NACCC held in San Francisco in 2007.

As a producer, I arranged access, interviews and equipment needs for a three-man crew (including myself). For the three-night, two-day event, I also shot a significant amount of footage and conducted some of the key interviews. Finally, I did a first edit of the footage and then worked with another editor to complete the film.
