Here's the 2013 Lodi Cyclefest mini-documentary I edited. It was a lot of work going through hours of footage and carving out this story, but I had a great time learning about the sport of cycling.

2014 San Diego Film Awards
Last night the Film Consortium of San Diego held the first ever San Diego Film Awards at the Horton Grand Theatre. I directed and edited the music video for Monkeys In Space "Supermodel Suitcase" which was nominated for best cinematography in the music video category.
This event would not have been possible if it wasn't for founder of the Film Consortium Jodi Cilley, the FCSD members, and volunteers.
Certainly this festival will continue to grow, it was an honor to be a nominee for this first time event! It's nice to know that in the future more local filmmakers and talent will have the same opporuntiy that I had last night. Lookout for the new Monkeys In Space album "Kill Your Past" coming out later this month at Facebook.com/MonkeysInSpace and you can watch the Monkeys In Space "Supermodel Suitcase" below.

November Update (2013)
The past few months I've had the privilege of working within the MMA world capturing interviews of Bas Rutten, Rashad Evans, Don Frye, Roy Nelson, and many more fighters. It's been a great experience and I'm enjoying the opportunity. I'm a big fan of the sport and I've gained a new perspective from the experience. There's a big difference from seeing a fight on TV and being ringside, and backstage interviewing the fighters after the events.
Royce Gracie is one of the most important people to the growth of MMA. This month marks the 20th anniversary for the UFC -- Royce Gracie was the winner of the first UFC tournament back in 1993 which made him the first UFC champion. I'm currently editing an interview of him for The Hollywood MMA Show. Stay tuned and Subscribe at YouTube.com/MMAShowNews
