A local client new to television with no budget is a favorite challenge.

This is the nitty-gritty stuff, and usually does not get this level of detail in local television.

This recruitment commercial happened in the dead of summer when all of my production crew was on vacation. Chicago Police got the verité treatment as I shoot video at a 12th grade level. The tone on these is pitch perfect.

An annual funds drive for the Greater Chicago Food Depository: give cash and you’ll get a Chicago celebrity chef’s family recipe. We shoot packages with morning show talent and the chefs preparing the dish. We turned it into a sponsor opportunity. Everyone wins.

The second video is the 2021 Holiday Helpings packages I was backdoored into producing. I was sent to assist the covid-restricted productions, only to find out absolutely nothing had been set up and no one else sent. Three in one day, each with hard outs. An iPhone 11 and an Obama-ear HP enterprise laptop. I had to turn around the post ASAP as a flight loomed. Beat the shit out of me but I love how they turned out. Good flow and vibes.
