History Channel show AMERICA UNEARTHED Show Teases and Reenactments

So last year I was lucky enough to produce all of the show opens/teases and reenactments for the History Channel Show, America Unearthed. I was also fortunate enough to be able to direct a handful of the episodes. I have finally gotten around to putting them up online. You can see them HERE.

Figured as we are now in production on Season 2 of America Unearthed, it was time to show some from the inaugural season.

McKnight Media Artist Fellowship Grant

So I got some exciting news this past week as I was selected as one of three winners of the 2013 McKnight Media Artists Fellowship Grant. You can read more about it HERE. Thanks to IFP MN, the McKnight Foundation, and the jurors and congratulations to the other two fellows, Susan Marks and Todd Melby.

My latest short film, EDEN, reaching the finish line

Picture has been locked on EDEN, and I am now deep into color correction and sound design and VFX work.  The film should be completed within the next 2 weeks and has come a long way due to the excellent work of so many talented individuals.  I'm excited to get the film out there.

Reenactments Wrapped

I was lucky enough to be able to produce some reenactments for a history channel documentary called "Holy Grail in America" a few years back.  One of the more difficult, yet rewarding jobs I've had.  Well, in the last few months I was brought back by the same company, Committee Films, to produce reenactments for a new series they have coming up for the History Channel.  I was also lucky enough to direct a few that were right up my alley.  It was 7 shoot days in some tough conditions, but had a great time with a great cast and crew.  The show will begin airing in December and I think the reenactments should be a fun addition to the show.

ZOMBIE CHIC 3D Screens at SITGES among others.

Well....I was not so great at updating this site, but Zombie Chic 3D had a nice run of festival screenings throughout the early fall.  I was very excited to be back at The Sitges Festival Internacional de Cinema Fantastic de Catalunya with the film making it's European Premiere at the festival in the amazing Auditori theater.

I couldn't have been more pleased to be a part of such an amazing festival again and was bummed I couldn't make the trip to Spain.

I was also very honored to be back at some other festivals I have screened at prior as well as some new ones.  The film screened as a part of the Mile High Horror Festival, The Telluride Horror Show, Celluloid Screams, the Twin Cities Film Festival, and the San Pedro Film Festival.  The film was able to screen in its native stereoscopic 3D at most of the fests.

It was nice to see the short find a home over the year.  I'm sure I'll put it online sometime in the coming months.
