Hyundai Hope Detector - Innocean Worldwide & Anonymous Content (VTR Assistant)

Video Playback Assistant

During the weeks leading up to Super Bowl LII in 2018, a large crew from Chicago and Minnesota were assembled to produce a Hyundai commercial at the Minneapolis Convention Center. A huge crew concealed themselves in order to film unsuspecting Hyundai owners learning about how their purchase went to cancer charities. It was a big responsibility assisting the video playback department from Chicago, And in the end the spot went off without a hitch.

Feature Film: "The House of Tomorrow" - Dir. Peter Livolsi

2nd AC & Data Manager

Joining the production on Week 3 of 3, I was honored to work on a film featuring Academy Award Winner Ellen Burstyn as well as actors Nick Offerman, Alex Wolff, and Asa Butterfield. Filming at locations in Minnesota from the novel, this movie was the story of a sheltered boy who reveres Buckminster Fuller but is pulled out of his shell by the allure of a punk rocker and his sister. This was a great learning experience on a nationally released Indie Feature.
