The End of the World Party (zombie-comedy short film)


I directed a fun little zombie-comedy short film called “The End of the World Party.” Starring Nick Sommer and WC Tank on a blustery Halloween day at Grant Park in South Milwaukee.

Doing ADR with actor/co-writer/costumer Nick Sommer on a beautiful fall day (recording zombie voices and re-recording a couple of Nick’s lines — 15-30mph of wind on the day we shot).

Grant Park is an incredibly gorgeous park that I don’t visit enough. A visit there in late August got me thinking about shooting a film there.
Especially this photo:

Video – The World’s Finest Horse Fence

I created this video for Buckley Fence, my Dad’s company that is creating horse fencing in a way never done before. This minute-long video shows off many installs and gives you an overview of what Buckley Fence is all about.

I shot the video and photos over the last few years, and wrote the narration specifically for this video.

Also recently designed a large (~80″x40″) laser-cut gate-entrance sign for a large horse ranch. Will post photos of that when it has been assembled.

Lakefront Fireworks Video


Montage of the Big Bang fireworks show on July 3, 2015 shot from Veteran’s Park on Milwaukee’s lakefront.

This was after a long day of playing grass volleyball and drinking with friends at Veteran’s Park. A great Milwaukee summer day and night.

Shot on 5D3 ML RAW, colored & edited with DaVinci Resolve, edited with FCPX.
