During the past four years at UC San Diego, I have taken numerous courses in film production, and I love it. Whether I was filming a horror movie with large lighting kits, multiple cameras and fake blood, or making a short video using a cell-phone camera, I always have a great time making films. I find the process of editing the most interesting part of filmmaking, though being locked in an editing suite for hours upon hours can be exhausting. Below you will find a collection of some of the work I have completed over the past few years. Click the image to view the film.

	Mime-umentary Judah Buxton is a man who has dedicated his life to making children smile. Through the art of mime, he's able to transcend language and communicate his stories through imagination. He lives his life with one rule: If you never loose your imagination, you'll never be bored. 9:57
	Open Your Eyes A girl, too tired to finish her long road trip home, is forced to stop and stay the night in a motel. Once in her room some very creepy things begin to happen. She begins to think that she’s going crazy! Is she imagining the whole thing? It’s extremely scary and ends with a twist you won’t expect! 7:21
	Real World: Ocean Beach This “mockumentary” is the story of a two unlikely friends who have acquired a package. They spend the afternoon together imagining what its contents could be. Will they open it in the end? 6:21
	Secret Agent Santa This film depicts the story of a retired FBI agent of 31 years and his amazing stories. It also depicts the story of the same man who now plays Santa Claus during Christmas time. By using found footage, the dichotomy of his two lives is even more apparent and incredibly interesting. 12:10
	Stop Requested For this essence of place film, I focused on a place hundreds of people use everyday: the UCSD shuttle. Through the use of musical editing, I was able to evoke the emotion i feel when riding the bus. It goes around and around on a loop, and when you get back to the beginning, it starts all over again. 4:55
	Hostage We live in a voyeuristic culture. Why are we obsessed with slowing down and watching a car crash on the side of the road? Why do we watch violent videos on youtube? Sometimes our morbid curiosity gets the best of us and we just can’t stop watching. This video depicts a girl watching a hostage video on Youtube, and the lines of reality are crossed. In this film, I use quick editing and hard rhythmic beats to produce an effect called “the matrix,” which can be defined as a rhythmic switching of places. 1:44
	My Dreams Have Color For this short film, I have compiled audio from Benetton magazine’s "COLORS #73" which is a collection of stories about blind people and how they live in a world built for the seeing. Combined with a rainbow of bright colors, these stories are incredibly powerful. 2:25
	Fantasy of the Abused This is the story of a boy who was mentally and verbally abused by another boy, and what he would do if his deepest fantasy came true. 2:17
	Falling Asleep The goal of this short film was to evoke a certainfeeling or emotion from the audience. The feeling I chose was unsatisfied anticipation. In today’s world of quick cut MTV editing, audiences expect a lot to happen. When do you start feeling uncomfortable? 2:36
	Third Time's a Charm This is the story of a girl who’s incredibly unlucky in love. She’s set up on two horrible blind dates, and just when she’s about to give up on men all together… Well, maybe the third time’s a charm. 8:42
	Dear Mom In this film, I explore the relationship I had with my mother who passed away from breast cancer in 2001. When looking at old pictures, I began to realize I never really got to know my mom as a person. I only remember her through the eyes of a child. 2:25
	Lies We Te Our Children We all tell little white lies, but none are so amusing as the little lies we tell our children. Little kids ask us question after question, and when you don’t know how to answer, what do you say? “I’ll tell you when you’re older!” All audio and video was taken from a cell phone camera. 2:36
	Torrie and Harriot This film depicts the classic tale of the tortoise and the hare, but in a college setting. Two roommates take on the challenges of school, but one remembers that slow and steady wins the race. 6:24
