"Trouble" directed by Sean Skelton wins Best TV Drama at the 2015 Independent Television Festival! It was great working with Sean on this project.

I just wrapped up the grade for the smart new thriller from directing team Janice Erlbaum and Bill Scurry, "We Are All Going to Die", set in a sinister blackout during an Oscar party.

I caught a screening last weekend of the absolutely psychedelic 4K restoration of Technicolor extravaganza "Tales of Hoffman" at the beautiful Detroit Institute of Art Film Theater. Wow. So many palettes, tied into the Technicolor environment with absolutely over the top set design.

I've been invited by the Museum of Modern Art in Rijeka, Croatia to complete my new film in summer 2016!  Production will be in remote caves in Slovenia and sea caves in the Adriatic, stay tuned!

America 1979 recently screened at the LA Asian Pacific International Film Festival, and director Lila Yomtoob sat down for an interview here to discuss aspects of the film including the development of the color grade.


I had the rare opportunity to visit an incredible private gemstone collection on the upper west side. Gemstones, "frozen light", are the only instances of permanent color in the world, all other color fades. Sadly, the unearthly hues are unreproducible, especially with an iphone. Thanks to Bruce High Quality Foundation.

Along with Michael Dwass, I worked with DP Thomas Scott Stanton to grade this indie feature, "Good Ol Boy" at CVLT. It was great hearing from screenwriter Anjul Nigam during the session about some of the inspiration for this story of first love set in 1979 as a family from India arrives in America.

Field Visits for Chelsea Manning by Lance Wakeling looked great on DCP at the theatrical premiere at BAM Rose Cinemas. Rhizome commissioned this first-person travelogue, Lance's final video in the trilogy on the physicality of the internet, which maps the locations where Manning was held.

The original pilot for Trouble by Sean Skelton, a drama about an A-list starlet whose life is spinning out of control, recently won Best Writing at the New York Television Festival's Independent Pilot Competition.
