Construction Manager, Associate Producer, First AD, First AC, Colorist

The Collins Film is the largest production 640 has ever produced. I worked closely with Brennan to run the day-to-day operations on set, creating call sheets, and ensuring we meet our days. I also served as the First AC and focus puller. Additionally, I managed the construction of the film’s key set, building flats, painting, and budgeting. Now, in post-production, I am the colorist on the film, utilizing the Eastman Tri-X Show LUT I made for on-set viewing.

Logline

Colorist

The grade took place remotely via Parsec from February 15th, 2025 to April 7th, 2025 under the supervision of DP Adam J. Minnick. We worked to chase a naturalist look akin to the films of Kelly Reichardt.


Urgency (2025) - Music Video

Urgency poster

Director: Spencer Swenson

Artist: Tonguecutter

Cinematographer, Colorist

Spencer Swenson and I wanted a look that was warm, yet reflected the coolness that comes with an Autumn day. I first created a Show LUT to view on set through a BMPCC6K. The film’s final look doesn’t stray too far from the Show LUT. In addition to the grade, we wanted to create gritty film grain look to match the energy and vibe of the band.

Crying in the Club (2024) - Music Video

Producer, Writer, Director, Production Designer, Sound Designer, Colorist

70-minute feature film on Amazon Prime Video, YouTube, and Blu-Ray. I led a team of 10 crew members on set, communicating the vision of the film. Additionally, I managed the film’s budget, production schedule, and distribution. I also built and designed the entire set for the film. I held key post-production roles designing the sound and color grading the film.

He proceeds to interview all the congregation members, sifting through a web of red herrings and self-serving lies. Over the next 24 hours he interviews six suspects and seeks to solve the case.

Props Master

I collaborated with the director and production designer to build key props and set pieces like a stained glass mural frame and baptismal pool.

I worked closely with director Alex Leon to coordinate the production of Atrophy in Grand Rapids, MI as he is based in Philadelphia. We shot in multiple locations in West Michigan over 3 days. I organized the shooting schedule, casting calls, and operated a camera on set. Additionally, I worked with Alex to create the look and feel of the film. We went for a soft, dreamy, surreal look to complement the narrative.

Par Avion (2020) - Student short film

Par Avion poster

Director: Parker Keye Eisen

A woman witnesses a plane explode and struggles to communicate its effects to her friend.

Writer, Director, Producer, Editor, Colorist

Regardless of how I feel about Par Avion now, it was a massive project for me as a student filmmaker. It uses a combination of black and white and Super 8mm film. In the film I explored the limits of narrative filmmaking by trying to use atmosphere in a way that allows audiences to create their own meaning. Does it fully do that? Not sure. But things I learned on this film still impact my filmmaking today.

A Shadow Breathes (2020) - Student short film

A Shadow Breathes poster

Director: Varun Ramadhyani

A Shadow Breathes follows Pratik’s increasingly fragmented psyche, transforming him into a shell of what he once was: a shadow.

Producer/First AD

I worked closely with director Varun Ramadhyani to manage the production schedule, set, and crew.
