USAID’s Feed the Future program has led to many successes including this personal story from Evodius, a rice farmer and innovator in rural Tanzania. Jordan Gantz and I collaborated on this and a series of on-going videos which focus on improving the lives of farmers across Tanzania’s thriving rice industry.

Solar Impulse: Swiss Innovators
Working with the Embassy of Switzerland, I had the honor of producing this video to recognize Bertrand Piccard and Andre Borschberg of Solar Impulse for their outstanding aviation achievements. We filmed the interview in front of the original Wright Flyer at the Smithsonian Air and Space museum and the video is a beautiful culmination of working with the Swiss Embassy, the Smithsonian Institution and my passion for aviation.
Living Social Flashmob Proposal
I recently worked with Living Social to orchestrate videotaping a surprise proposal at their DC event space… Spoiler alert – she said yes. It was a lot of fun to be in on the secret and figure out how to get the most video coverage without being in the shot. If you look closely you can see my feet in a few of the shots.
Smithsonian OFMR – the behind-the-scenes teams
Who is the Smithsonian’s Office of Facilities Management and Reliability or OFMR?
OFMR is responsible for the everyday operations at the Smithsonian’s expansive network of global facilities. It was my pleasure to highlight some of the tremendous responsibilities of this department and the staff that make it all possible. I went for a cinematic approach using a dolly and wide angle lens to convey the scale of the tasks and to give it a more polished (pun intended) look than your typical corporate identity piece… well, because the Smithsonian is far from typical. This project was a rare pleasure to see and experience some of the Smithsonian’s treasures without the general public and I hope you enjoy watching this as much as I enjoyed creating it.

Inspiring the next generation of family physicians at the AAFP National Conference
The American Academy of Family Physicians and I created this video aimed at inspiring and recruiting members for the 2011 National Conference. I shot and edited the interviews and supplemented the footage with photos and text to create this two minute piece.
