I’ve been making independent films for about ten years now. I never could get into the idea of film school so I started volunteering to work on ultra-low budget films instead. From there, I kept working on projects in various roles – I’ve been a caterer, P.A., location scout, D.P., A.D. and almost everything in between on my way up to being a full-fledged director and producer. This is how I gained real world experience working with many different budget levels and collected a great group of friends and collaborators that I work with on a regular basis.
My projects have played at film festivals all over the world. As a director I made the award winning omnibus feature film Deadroom, GDMF, The Knocker, Merrily, Merrily, Receive Bacon and music videos for the acclaimed bands The Theater Fire and Bosque Brown. I’ve also done pretty well as a producer; I co-produced the award winning, theatrically released film Ciao and produced the multi-award winning film St. Nick recently picked up for international distribution and the upcoming feature Carried Away which recently won Best Narrative Film at the Oxford Film Festival. My creativity doesn’t stop at filmmaking, I’m also Executive Chef for my wife Amy McNutt’s popular chain of award winning vegan restaurants Spiral Diner & Bakery. I can marry you too since I’m a Reverend.
