Production Directory Listing


Description

With over six years of experience directing and editing live-action content, I specialize in crafting compelling videos across narrative, behind-the-scenes, commercial, and trailer formats. My work spans the film and gaming industries, where I’ve creatively directed, shot, and edited numerous video game trailers and produced “making of” content for indie game studios at every stage of production.

Originally from Texas, I studied film at UT Austin and began my career as a post-production intern at Two Shot West, contributing to projects involving Matthew McConaughey. I later joined Mighty Coconut as a video producer for the critically acclaimed VR title, Walkabout Mini Golf. I created over 30 trailers and played a key role in defining the studio’s visual trailer identity to engage and grow their audience.

In 2020, I launched my own production company, Proteus Production, and have continued to bring passion and creativity to every project that comes my way!
Previous work with: The Jim Henson Company, Aardman Animation, Meow Wolf, Cyan Worlds, Super Rare Games, Mighty Coconut, Indian Motorcycle, The University of Texas at Austin, R&R Partners, Two Shot West, Navigame, and more!

Proficient in: Adobe Premiere Pro, DaVinci Resolve, Avid Media Composer, & Final Cut Pro
