A vague parody of The A-Team in the vein of The Naked Gun and other spoof classics much funnier than this. Jay Neander and I were co-directors of photography on this project while at SIU. It was the first project we shot on the Panasonic HVX200 DVCProHD cam, and it was made for SIU's student produced variety show alt.news 26:46.
Retelling of the old Hook camp fire tale, the popular urban legend about the hook killer at lover's lane. I co-directed this short with Jay Neander. Shot on DVX100A with a budget of $150 for SIU's student magazine show alt.news 26:46. Lots of favors pulled on this one.
Here's a segment from alt.news my friend Carla Cozzi produced and edited. I was a videographer and goat frightener. Fainting goats are a crazy breed of goat that stiffen up and fall over like they are dead when you scare them.
Here's a segment from SIU's student produced magazine show "alt.news 26:46." I was one of the lead videographers and sort of co-produced this piece with Jay Neander. This segment was featured in the 2006 Student Emmy-winning episode of alt.news. Andrew W.K. is an awesome fellow and was terrific to work with. This was the first version of the piece that aired on PBS in November 2005.

A second edit of this piece is coming soon.

A behind the scenes look at the short film "The Hook." The film and this segment both aired in an episode of alt.news 26:46 in May 2005. Kyle Tekiela, who also stars in The Hook, produced and edited this piece.

The Canadians have launched a nuke at Illinois and only the Illinois Missile Defense Chief and his crew can stop it. I'm not normally an actor, but my friend Jay Neander asked me to star in this "Naked Gun" style short he wrote and directed and I can never refuse playing the part of a moron.
