EVERYTHING IS EVERYTHINGLY
The pleasure to work with wonderful people with amazing talents is a warm reminder: we are similar in fantastic ways and sharing our passions with openness and curiosity in collaboration is magic.
Azure IoT: Lift Your Ideas Higher
1 pool and 40+ dives drives the theme of lifting ideas in this anthem video for Microsoft’s Azure IoT.
Special thanks to Ashley Wright for her kick-ass dives and positive vibes during the day. Co-directed by Billy Restey and myself. Cinematography by Drew Hisey.
My only regret is not taking a jump myself.
Washington State Lottery: Holiday Hacks with Make-It-Raindeer
I had the pleasure to co-direct these whimsical spots with my pal Billy Restey and was shot by Drew Hisey. This was a collaboration between DYSTNCT and LUSTRE in tandem with COLE & WEBER. Good times were had, heads were also had.
THUNDERPUSSY: Badlands
Co-Directed with LUSTRE’s Cameron Campbell we tromped around the landscape of eastern Washington with Thunderpussy in search for the badlands. It was an intense production with packed days impossibly executed with a group of dedicated (and very patient) people. WE MADE A FIRE TORNADO.

CISCO: Cloud Security
Co-directed with Cameron Campbell arm in arm with Brian Boyle and the fine folks at SPUR.
Developing this idea for CISCO was an amazing field trip into the world of cyber crime. It humbles me to think about how vulnerable we are and that safety is more or less an illusion; or at least dependent on another’s willingness to ignore you. Make sure you change those passwords people! Here’s a podcast episode of REPLY ALL to dig a little deeper.
Cedar Grove: Sponsor of Spring
Working with local compost company Cedar Grove was great! This anthem piece was creative directed by yours truly under the LUSTRE banner. We collectively developed the look and world as we explored the roots of this Seattle legacy company. Notable animation badassery: Luke Shea.
THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS: I Left My Body
Two dudes, 54 hours, no sleep, and plenty of weird. This piece was a practice of stamina. It also happened to be a perfect way to explore various styles and techniques with little pressure. Luke Shea is the man.
