Same-Sex Marriage Ad
December 1, 2008 – 12:00 pm | 1 Comment2008
Running time: 25sec
Created for a television competition, this ad points out that the definition of marriage has been changed before, when we became more tolerant. Interracial marriage, it points out, was illegal in some states in 1967.
In fact, interracial marriage was illegal in some state constitutions until the year 2000!

This trailer is made for a class, meant to promote urban debate in local schools with a creative re-edit of the official trailer from the Denzel Washington movie The Great Debaters with a 60 Minutes episode.

As a project to illustrate the power of editing and the capacity of video to lie, I created a fake commercial for the movie "Titanic" that makes it seem as if it’s about something entirely different.

Running time: 15:34
The Student Council decided to do something different than their typical end-of-year assembly, so I directed a short mystery. The Wolverine (the school mascot) has been kidnapped and it is up to the student council to find him. The film includes a light saber fight, disappearing people, and a villain that may surprise you.
