"Patience" was created as a music video project in my junior year at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts. I recorded and mixed Eva Frishberg's original song and created this music video with her. I directed, color-corrected and edited the project, Joshua Huval worked as my cinematographer, and Eva Frishberg and Yuki Monestere were the onscreen talent.

"This Too Shall Pass" was created for a music video contest sponsored by the alternative rock band OK Go, Tipitina's and WTUL New Orleans. We were tasked with creating a one shot video created in the style of OK Go's GRAMMY Award-winning music videos. The video was produced from start to finish over the course of one week, and it was filmed in one take.

Joshua Huval, Jeff Bruno and I wrote the video and built the set, I shot, edited and color-corrected the video, and Joshua Huval and Jeff Bruno were the onscreen talent.
