In
Production: "Rebel West". This
independent documentary takes you inside LA's "rockabilly" music
subculture, from pioneers like Glen Glenn to the revival of "rockabilly"
and the standup bass started by maverick Rockin' Ronny Weiser, founder
of Rolling Rock Records, to the upsurge in interest in early 50s rockabilly
and rock and roll now lead by LA's Latino youth. (Editors
and investors email me!)

"The Lucille Ball Fan Project":
This
TV
Documentary (in progress) is a loving tribute to Lucille Ball fans around
the world. On this project I primarily coordinated interviews with over
50 subjects, requiring me to contact over 100 subjects, including a long
list of celebrities. The project involved travel to Lucille Ball's
hometown of Jamestown, New York, to assist in the shoot of the Lucille
Ball Birthday Party held at the Lucy-Desi Museum. Shot on Beta for
GAB Entertainment, Venice, California.
TV Documentary: "The Messenger": 1 Hour HBO "Making
Of" Special (2000). This project was a rather unusual endeavor
produced by Columbia TriStar's publicity department to provide HBO with
a 1 hour "making of" special on Luc Besson's "The Messenger".
As Luc was not too keen on giving behind the scenes footage to Sony,
my research into verified artifacts on Joan of Arc resulted in a one month
trek in in France to capture the journey of Joan's short life through
rarely seen artifacts and locations. Working with a French film
crew, we filmed period artifacts and existing locations where the Maid
lived. We were even the first people to film the only verified signature
of "Jeanne" held in public trust in Reins. My responsibility
included identifying and locating verified artifacts and locales and securing
key on-camera interviews with experts (my high school French got me through
quite a bit!). What a journey! And the food wasn't bad,
either.
Other Projects Include: Co-producing low-budget DVD extras
for Asylum Entertainment (with Davidian Video), work as an AD, production
asstant and extra wrangling on several indie projects including "Slums
of Beverly Hills" (Fox Searchlight), "Sightings" (Paramount / Sci-Fi Channel),
"Maloney" (CBS), "Merchants of Venus" (indie) and various spec TV pilots.
