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.

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.
