Productions

One production, PILGRIM'S PROGRESS, for which I won a best cinematography award, was the first feature film for Liam Neeson. The PBS special, GOSPEL AT THE SYMPHONY, was nominated for an Emmy and the double album won a Grammy that year.

Over the span of 15 years, I produced, directed, or shot over 500 national television commercials for True Value Hardware Stores.

Other productions have earned awards locally, regionally, and nationally, including three Telly awards – the equivalent of an Oscar for non-theatrical productions.

Following is information about my video production background. I've worked on projects across the country and around the world. If you're looking for high quality production that gets the results you need, I look forward to hearing from you.
