We got enough amazing footage from shooting newborn resuscitation training in Cambodia that we split it into two videos (if you haven’t seen the other one, check it out here). This one shows more of the rural life of the country. Wow, amazing people. Was able to film some of the nurse midwives who are […]
Read moreFor a time, I was working to help people tell their personal stories in order to help the next generation. Turns out there’s a ton of research showing that family stories unite generations in remarkable ways. But it’s one thing to see the research on paper, but quite another to hear this from the mouths […]
Read moreThis is a bonus feature to show how powerful and long lasting stories can be. This TV spot still amazes me because I can run into people who lived in Indiana in 1998 and they still remember this 15: second spot. I should point out that I was just the writer on this. Tom Oliphant […]
Read moreThis is a bonus feature to show how powerful and long lasting stories can be. In 1998 we were asked to create a series of TV, radio, print ads, and billboards… that honestly could have done more harm than good.

Worked with the great Clark Schaffer on creating the special effect with the flag (spoiler: you’re looking at a model there. The actual flag weighed like 300 lbs and took a team of 10 to carefully put it up). I […]
Read moreThought you might enjoy this. A little bonus feature. When creating the short film, illuminares, I worked with an uber talented student artist to create the storyboards. They were exactly like I had pictured in my head. Then I worked with Brian Wilcox and later T.C. Christensen )because a snow delay pushed the production back […]
Read moreI had so much fun directing this short. Christy Summerhays did a remarkable job and Tara Wall had me giggling almost too loud behind the camera. Wow, she nailed the part. Super big thanks to Brian Wilcox who lit the scenes and operated the camera, as well as Steve Laneri who did the audio. Hope […]

I created this as a fun little story and later realized that with a bit of editing it could work to promote my new happiness app, “Feed Your Happy.” You’ll probably also like to know that the young boy in this […]
