Breaking Out
“Breaking Out” is centered around a dramatic piano improvisation David Glass recorded several years ago. The short film is a psychological rollercoaster containing a variety of footage that express a wide range of intense emotions and strong forces of nature, and yet there is a beauty to the chaos. As in a ballet, the music is in synchronicity with the dramatic scenes. As of January 17, 2024, “Breaking Out” has been awarded 83 wins in 56 festivals, 7 finalist, 44 Semi-Finalist, and 5 Honorable Mentions!

The Bells
The video for The Bells is the result of a year’s worth of footage captured along the Delaware Bay, just a stone’s throw from my home in Cape May, NJ. As Echo Artifact worked on the track, I would immerse myself in each mix while walking along the bay, allowing the landscape to become a dynamic soundtrack. This connection inspired me to create a video that reflects the essence of that environment.

Hunky Dory
Hunky Dory juxtaposes scenes of animal life with images of human existence, observing the quirky and unexpected ways in which we are similar. The meticulously hand-drawn animation is a visual smorgasbord, moving and morphing in perfect time to the banjo music of Béla Fleck and his bandmates in My Bluegrass Heart.
