Here is a film I shot for Filmmaker Matt Cibelli way back when. It’s good to see that’s online. I don’t know how I missed it.

We shot on Super16 with Fuji 64D and 500T. We transferred to HDCam and even had 35mm Film-Out made.

One little ‘war story’ in making of film this scene on Cannon Beach. During our scouting were really afraid that character of Min wouldn’t able to push the old man in his wheelchair on the sand. We tried numerous times to push each other and every time the chair would sink in sand. Well, at worked out no one saw it coming and at happened and fell in place.

Hope you enjoy the film.

Her Meds is a surreal film I shot for director Matt Cibelli.

I shot this on the HVX200 right when it was brand spanking new. This meant for a bit of heat under my collar.

Some of the most fun was shooting the ‘Giant’ scenes. Shooting the perspective shots in a way to make the houses look small and realistic were a blast. Doing it all In-Camera without green screens made it look really nice too.

One thing that comes to mind when watching this movie is what happened behind the scenes during the party. Since the camera was so new at the time file management was a real ‘learning process’. There was a good hour and a half where we all thought that I had lost about 20 minutes worth of important footage. Needless to say we hadn’t lost it and everything worked out.

This was a really fun experimental documentary.

I have always loved making films that border between documentary and fiction. In the 90’s and early 2000’s my films would have fallen squarely in what literary types called Creative Nonfiction. So, when I was approached by Matt Cibelli to help him with Kick’s For Cranes the concept immediately struck a cord.

The film turned out to be a real gem. Kicks For Cranes even got a write up in New York Magazine.
