Arlington Public News Cast

This summer, I was a video producer for Arlington Public News out of Arlington Community Media, Inc. The show’s goal this summer was to do some remote newscasts. We finally had a successful one at the end of the summer, but this one was rained out, so we shot it in the studio. It’s exciting…

Photo a day: blood tests

I did production design for a short film my friend and colleague Ben Hosking wrote with actor Josh Grey. Part of that involved formulating some fake blood to stain some bandages. I came up with some pretty convincing stuff. The recipe, if you’re interested, is red food coloring with just a touch of blue, glycerin,…

It’s been cool seeing the facade slowly shape up all summer — it started with a patch of dirt…

Evelyn Swift Shuker, local (Boston/Philly — hire them!) performance artist, director, and playwright, was the lead actress in a short film I made last semester. My co-director and I were lucky to do well enough on the project’s Kickstarter that we could pay them actual money, but I also did their headshots. We headed over…
