Quantum Potential
Vanderbilt University wanted to create a film series focused on their faculty game-changers. We produced five films that highlighted fascinating research in traffic, breast milk compounds, light, enslaved people and the Covid 19 vaccine. I was the producer during production through post and launch.

HBO Voyeur
This is the older things in my portfolio and perhaps the most epic. That grainy photo is clickable. I was the creative producer on this year-long project. And if you want to see the biggest content advertising HBO ever took on, check it out. Yes it’s 4x3, yes the technology is old (PSP and Nokia phone-old). But it ran away with every award in 2008 including a pack of Cannes Lions and in 2010 it was declared Best of the Digital Decade by the One Show. The people I worked on this with are some of the best in the business and I’ll never forget the year we made the world look in. I made this case study with the BBDO CCO.
Event, Immersive, Digital, VOD, Broadcast. A true 360 campaign.

Storymakers
This opening title sequence got me an Emmy nomination. But the bigger story is how much of a trick it was to pull off. We almost didn’t have a show open. But after we came up with the storyboards, they became the shooting boards. We brought on the amazingly talented animators over at Imaginary Forces. And between them and our team at Radical Media, we pulled off the show open (complete with custom illustrated portraits) in 8 days. Click on the image to play the video.

Iconoclasts
This was a very important project to me. I had always loved Radical’s show “Iconoclasts”. It moved to the OWN network when Oprah launched it. Hearing these amazing people talk about what shaped and influenced them was just incredible. This season included Maya Angelou, Jay Z and Sidney Pointier and was fascinating. I produced the show titles which I also thought turned out pretty sweet.

Havaianas
This was a 3-video animated campaign that investigated what feet dream about when they fall sleep. Each done by a different animation house. This was done with a super tight budget, but the work was great. Other freaky fact was I lived in Brooklyn when I produced these and we ended up shooting in what would be become (6 years later when I moved to LA) my neighborhood library in Highland Park, LA. Weird how the universe works.

Target 2-Day Sale
This is another project that was a blast to work on. Mainly due to the creatives I worked with. This was an amazing choose-your-own-adventure that was hosted online leading up to the Target 2-Day sale. There were 26 different legs of the journey and thousands of combinations when you were playing. I loved chiming in on some of these frames. Click each image for different videos.

Night of the Blue Blazer
This project was such a labor of love. Night of the Blue Blazer was part of a 25 Year celebration for Tommy Hilfiger. I was the executive producer on this project and one of the collaborators. This is the story of a blue blazer that gets mistakenly handed off between multiple people over the course of an evening and the mania that ensues. This was shot over three nights, with hundreds of people and countless blazers in Manhattan. Note: many, many blazers were harmed in the making of this piece.
