A License to Write: The Iowa Workshop Experience

This film is pretty much done with the festival rounds, so on to the web it goes!

(2008, 18:00, digital video and found footage)

An energetic documentary that offers an insider’s look at the writing workshops at the University of Iowa through reflective, funny, and touching interviews with former and current students. The film surveys the hardships, the passion, the self-doubt, and the triumphs that come along with devoting a life to the written word.

Created for the exhibit “A Community of Writers: Creative Writing at the University of Iowa” at the Old Capitol Museum on the University of Iowa campus.

Produced by Jennifer Proctor and Jennifer New

Texas Student Television Promos, 1997

Some station promos I made back in the day at Texas Student Television at UT Austin.

Ah, VHS, Hi 8, 3/4″. I cut my teeth on thee and thy linear editing system.

More promos from fellow TSTV alum here (Tony Brummer) and here (Aaron Valdez).

Ice/River - Videoblogging Week #6


Videoblogging Week #6 - a little meditation on the slow, slow decay of winter in West Michigan. Most of my time shooting this was spent figuring out how best not to fall through the ice. Also, remind me not to go on a snow hike in clogs.

Amazing how it starts to look like hand-painted film after so much data crunching.
