Short Films:

	Directing Scene: Klute This Scene was done as a project for my Techniques Of Directing class. Thanks to Ryan Sailer for his cinematography. Starring Stephanie Wilder and Tyler Michaels.
Hidden This was my final project for Beginning Filmmaking. The assignment was to create a film and then do a soundtrack separately. (Non-synchronous) My actress is Jena Thompson and all directing, editing, and scoring was done by me. The video quality is rather low as it is a video of a projection. I will put up a better quality version when I get one.
