This Disney film inspired my software business, 'Slingshot.'  As assistant editor on this effects-heavy feature, I wrote the algorithm which solved a

gnarly metadata problem translating their video edit back to film.

​​

I expanded upon that idea and collaborated with a top-notch programmer to create 'Slingshot,' a software we sold throughout the US, Europe, and Asia.

My love affair with comedy blossomed and flourished here.  

As lead editor for Howie Mandell's daytime talk show, I continued working with Howie creating dozens of 'Hidden Camera' segments that played regularly on "The Tonight Show."

HUGE FAN, my directorial debut, had its last screening at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood on Feb. 29, 2020.  That night, it won the coveted Best Sports Short award at the Golden State Film Festival.

​

Working with a writer I admire, I produced, directed, and edited this film over a six month period.  I was privileged to have an excellent crew and a cast that really brought their game!

With an average of 70 effects per 22 minute episode, this CBS show required we edit the show while designing and building a lot of effects faster and cheaper than ever before.

​

As lead editor, I was tasked with designing and building a brand new kind of post-production system that could keep up with the fast pace while keeping down the budget.

With FUN, there were many firsts.

This was the first feature film I edited, fresh out of my first year at the American Film Institute (AFI).

​

It also was the first time I experienced my work in front of a virgin audience, and the first film I edited that won an award at the Sundance Film Festival.

"Nonnie & Alex" was the film I edited for my AFI Master's thesis.

​

I was lucky enough to work with the talented director, Todd Field, who also directed "In the Bedroom."

​

This film was the second film I edited that won an award at the Sundance Film Festival and went on to win other awards, including the Aspen Film Festival.
