A short narrative about a beautiful girl waiting anxiously for a phone call. Production Notes This piece was shot entirely on 16mm black and white film, and was originally edited by hand-splicing the film together on my living room floor while counting frames to time to the music - film editing in it's purest sense!

Monopoly Noir
A 40's era period piece about a man approached by a seductive lady regarding his Monopoly set. Production Notes As an experiment in film school, I was to edit another person's footage with absolutely no background whatsoever as to what she had originally intended with the piece. The idea was to test 1) the Director's ability to create a clear story, and 2) the video editor's ability to create a story from scratch. I...
