Film

Over the years, many film companies have come through the Detroit area. I had the pleasure of working on many of them. Primarily as a production assistant, my responsibilities varied from shoot to shoot, however, they were usually the same. The responsibilities included but were not limited to running cables, dollie operations, lighting, crowd and traffic control, setting up and tearing down camera equipment. Below is a list of film I have worked on:

  • Red Dawn (2009)
  • Gran Torino (2008)
  • Crossover (2006)
  • Richard Heat (2005)
  • Approaching Midnight (2005)
  • The Island (2004)
  • 8-Mile (2002)

Sports

Since 2008, I have worked with the Michigan High School Athletic Association, in conjuction with While We Were Young Productions, Fox Sports Detroit, and Comcast Cable, to produce high school athletic events. Jobs performed are videographer and bug opperator. Below is a list of events covered:
