IPSEITY THEATRICAL TRAILER release!

Today, for the first time, you can view the THEATRICAL trailer for my feature film, IPSEITY!

CLICK HERE TO VIEW ON VIMEO!

A special shout-out to Paul Frateschi, Matt Harris, Ryan Hamlin, and last, but not least, Andrew Richardson.

Paul Frateschi did the Color and Cinematography for this trailer and the full length film. 99% of what  you see in this film and trailer was captured with a camera that was operated by this man! He also worked extremely hard on putting the trailer together and making sure it was the best it could be.

Matt Harris did the lighting and Special Effect shots for the trailer and full length film. I am continually amazed by the spectacular images that Matt can generate for this film. Everything from gunshots to superimposed computer screens - to things that you'll never know were even computer generated effects.


Paul and Andrew making edits to the THEATRICAL TRAILER















Ryan Hamlin was brought on board recently to do sound editing and mixing - he has done a fantastic job of jumping on board and getting right to business. We gave him quite a challenge with working on the audio for the film, but he has tackled it full-on and exceeded our expectations.

Andrew Richardson, and his co-composer Ricky Kovacs, have continually impressed everyone with the score that they are producing for the film. They did a fantastic job on the theatrical trailer and pulled some late nights to get it released as soon as possible.


So many people have worked hard to get to this point - These are four crew members who made the theatrical trailer possible. I look forward to sharing the full length film with you in the future - Stay tuned as the post-production team gets closer to wrapping things up!


Enjoy the THEATRICAL TRAILER, and please share it!

TEDx Talk

I'm excited to announce that I will be giving a TED talk at TEDx NCSU on March 23rd.

For those who don't know, TED talks are informative lectures given by people from all different backgrounds - TED curates these talks and posts them on their website, www.ted.com












These talks range from topics such as Technology, Creativity, Entrepreneurship, Art, Spirituality and more. There are so many fascinating TED talks, and I am excited to share some of my ideas during the TED talk of my own on March 23rd in Raleigh, NC.

If you aren't able to attend, be sure to keep an eye out for the recording of my talk that will be posted several weeks later.

Teaser Trailer for IPSEITY coming soon... and other news

Hi guys,

It's been a wild week. In the last 8 days, I've seen the Pacific Ocean, the Atlantic Ocean, spent the night in 4 different cities, and spent more than 33 hours travelling!


From my visit to Stanford University.



























The trip to Silicon Valley was fantastic. The best experience I had while I was there was meeting with a gentleman named Randy Komisar, a Venture Capitalist who works at an office called Kleiner Perkins. He has written books, started companies, invested in companies, and more. He also is the former President and CEO of Lucasfilm Entertainment. Definitely check out his book, The Monk and the Riddle.

In addition to the travelling, I have been working with Andrew Richardson and Ricky Kovacs on crafting the music for the Theatrical Trailer, which is set to be released in the next two weeks. Andrew and Ricky have done an amazing job, and I can't wait to share it with you.

Stay tuned for the trailer release!

Silicon Valley Trip

It's been a while since I updated on what I've been up to.

Tomorrow I will be travelling to Silicon Valley with a group of students for the Entrepreneurship Initiative at NC State. We will be touring several different companies, including Apple and IDEO.




















Although this trip doesn't have anything directly related to filmmaking, I'll be sure to keep you updated on how these visits go, and hopefully have some photos to add.

For those who don't know, IDEO is one of the leading design companies in the US. Their company culture and the creative environment that they have created is unrivaled.

I'm also greatly anticipating visiting Apple. I'll definitely try and grab some pictures and keep you all in the loop.

In the meantime, I have been meeting with the Post Production team from IPSEITY, and they are hard at work on the final phases of post production on the film. It looks great, and we are expecting a theatrical trailer to be released in the next couple of weeks.

Quick updates-

Hi everyone.

It's been a while since I posted last. It seems that this is the first post of the new year!

My post production team has been hard at work finishing the final stages of IPSEITY. I'm very excited and can't wait until it's finished.

Most recently I have been working with our composer, Andrew Richardson, who has been working on the score for the film.

Below is a peek into the folder full of the score from IPSEITY.






















Unfortunately, we are not able to set a date on the premiere yet. I know that is a disappointment to many, but we can't reserve a theater until the entire post-production team comes together and prepares a final composite.

In the meantime, be on the lookout for a new poster, coming soon!
