Current Feature Film Project:

In 2011 we have been doing table reads for our first feature film, and I will be one of the actors in this play/film.  We're also currently in the middle of selecting a cinematographer and the rest of our crew.  I wrote an original screenplay called Zeroes, and Peter Valentino is editing the script.

FILM BIO/

I directed four Neon Venus music videos, a rockumentary of our Europe tour and Neon Venus promos for MTV Espanol, VHUno and MTV Puerto Rico (from 2003-2008).

 

Education:

I earned a degree in Advertising from the School of Journalism at Ohio State University. After graduation I moved to Michigan, and I received a Master’s Degree in Telecommunication Arts (video and film production) from the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor (with a Merit Fellowship). 

 

Film/Photography Production Experience:

My first job came as a director/videographer of a promotional campaign for Miller Lite/Leo Burnett in Detroit, Michigan (back in 90's). After that I worked videotaping castings for Video Portfolios in NYC. This video production agency had casting clients such as Elizabeth Arden, Calvin Klein, Paramount (TV shows), pilots, etc.

In NYC I also became a professional photographer. It was during those years in New York City that I met Peter Valentino, and after relocating to the East Village we formed the band Neon Venus, for which I focus a great deal of my film and video projects. In Santa Monica, CA, we worked on community TV shows focusing on the arts and music.
