I have been producing festival quality comedy videos since elementary school. My earliest success was a sale to HBO when I was in 3rd grade (“The Human Body”, c. 2000). Since 2006, I have been working in a collaborative group “Grog” where I have continued to create original comedy shorts. Grog shorts have featured comedians Emily Lynne (Above Average), Mitch Lewis (The Kloons) and Sam Reece (UCB). Grog shorts have also been featured on Funny or Die, Indy Mogul, and have won awards at international film festivals.
