Hilarous and Dark TV pilot with Director Michael Carnick
Michael contacted me back in October about a new television pilot idea he was going to film in San Diego in December of 2017. I had worked with Michael on his first short “Rolling Romance”. It was a great experience. I was newish to Los Angeles and I was happy to be working with a […]
Re-recording with Sarah Malakul Lane
Often times, for whatever reason you can’t get the dialog you want at the time that you are filming. If you need to update your dialog recordings for your film, then you can do it in Post production. ADR and Re-recording are perfectly legitimate to get the proper dialog takes for your films. Most of […]
Vegan fashion documentary – Vaute Couture
Vaute Couture: 2017 I have to say right out that this production renewed my faith in production life…a little bit. I’ve been on the road most of this year and although I love the travelers lifestyle, it can be rough at times. You don’t get to sleep in your own bed. You don’t get to […]

Hermanos – A short film by Timur Botzkin
Usually when I am asked to work on a short “independent” film I immediately think about low budgets, inexperienced filmmakers and chaos on set. However, I was really surprised on the set of Hermanos. The film was directed by an 18 year old kid, and he was a really amazing director! This is so rare […]
Enter the Ninja – Naoki Kobayahsi and my Dad
So for years my dad has been hinting that if I ever had the chance to bring him on a set, he ‘might’ like to join me. I was asked to mix the location sound for a Ninja movie starring the very famous in Japan, Naoki Kobayashi. I didn’t know much more about this project […]
