Director, Writer, Editor
Filming one of the short films for On the Lot.
In an exhaustive worldwide search of more than 12,000 applicants, Steven Spielberg hand picked 50 Filmmakers to participate in a competition to find the newest, freshest, and most talented director in the world. "On The Lot" was a joint venture created by Mark Burnett and Steven Spielberg. After 14 weeks, 7 films, and lots of sleepless nights, I came up just short of winning the contract with "Dreamworks". I finished 2nd.
In 2000, I graduated Eastern Kentucky University with a degree in Broadcasting & Electronic Media. After working briefly for an NBC News Affiliate, I was hired as a Producer by Insight Media Advertising. During my 3 years with Insight, I accumulated several statewide awards for commercials I produced/directed along with an Employee of the Year Award. From there I took a position with my church as the "Director of Technology" where I produced/directed all the video and web content for the church. I eventually started up my own company "Eppic Films, Inc." in 2005, which I still own today.
My resume is long and covers a wide range of projects that include music videos, feature and short films, pilots, commercials, web content and industrial work. I have over 8 years of editing, cinematography, writing and directing experience. I am signed with one of LA’s fastest growing management companies INSOMNIA MEDIA GROUP, and represented by several companies for commercial and music video work.
I would describe my character and personality as fun, easy going, determined, creative and fresh. I try to surround myself around like minded individuals who are as passionate about their craft as I am. I’m a devout Christian with a sense of values and morals that puts God first in everything I do. I am truly blessed and look forward to new opportunities. I am married to my beautiful wife Cindi and we have a 2 year old son, Isaiah.
