Shot in a suite at the Ritz/Carlton in Battery Park City, I developed the look for these host wrap-arounds. John Gregory Dunne is a very interesting and nice guy. One of many shows I’ve done the studio host-wraps for.

The Movie Channel - ‘Boom’
Good copy/concepts make good spots -- shocking. A chance to do some lower-key comedy, which is closer to my innate sense of humor than some of the sit-com type stuff I’ve done. One of a series of promos for TMC. Shot and co-directed with the agency creatives.

The Movie Channel - ‘Continuity’
Another in the 4 spot TMC series, shot at Silvercup Studios in Queens. Again, good copy and concept -- makes the job a lot easier. Shot and co-directed with the agency creatives.

HBO Sports - ‘Sonny Liston’
I’ve done extensive black and white work -- this is the lone sample on this site. Shot some of the talking heads as well for this doc.; Liston’s story is truly tragic.

Testimony to the Human Spirit
Incredibly moving stories from Holocaust survivors. Photographically, I tried to keep all the interviews consistent in look from a focal length, spatial, and lighting standpoint.

Murtala
An amazing shoot and life experience. Two months in Nigeria with two battalions of the Nigerian Army. Numerous dramatic recreations and interviews, including one with the Prime Minister at that time, Ibrahim Babangida. Here is a small segment of one of the battle sequences. Lagos struck me as one of the most difficult cities on the planet -- it is overwhelmed with people and simply overwhelming.
