That Director’s Reel I Was Talking About

Hey guys. I talked about working on my director’s reel a few days ago and I finally finished late last night. It features everything I’ve worked on since 2011 and includes some stuff that I haven’t put out yet. After re-watching older videos and watching the reel a few dozen times, it’s just a reminder that I still have room to grow.

I’d say I’m at a decent place considering I didn’t really throw myself into film until around 2011 (dipping into my rent money to buy a camera was a good and bad idea) but I’m not satisfied. As soon as you look at something you’ve done and you can’t find something that can be improved, it means you’ve plateaued and you’ll either stay at that level or degrade over time. My reel might come off as eclectic or unfocused to some people but I look at it as challenging myself to get better by doing different things. I’ll update it in a few months but for now, it’s solid but it can be a lot better.

P.S. If you run a production company in Florida and you like what you saw, don’t hesitate to hire me.

My First Director’s Reel

So as I type, I’m putting together my first reel. I wanted to wait until I got my full slate of summer projects shot but the way I see it, I need something to show potential employers and I can always update it in a few months.

The reel will feature almost everything I’ve written, directed, shot and/or edited since 2011, which includes short films, the videos I worked on during my time at Monstruosite by Dolly Donshey and a teaser trailer I shot for Tampa hip-hop artist Jabez’s Frequency Love mixtape. I still have some kinks to work out but it’s cool to look back to see how much I’ve grown over the years. I’ll post it everywhere on the blog when it’s ready.
