Living Life Vicariously Through Myself

I am a freelance surf video producer. I do the majority of my work for a company called, VIMBY (Video In My BackYard). VIMBY covers everything from music and art to action sports. They hire me to produce 3-4 min. profiles on surfers in the San Diego Area. I'm trying to stray from the standard "music video" style of surf porn everyone is producing and no one is watching. I like to think that I have a unique style and ability to express the lifestyles of individuals in the surf community.

1) Billy Watts (Surf Photographer Profile) 4 min.

2) Ricky Whitlock (Surfer Profile) 4 min.

Havoc is a film I produced in 2007, featuring San Diego surfers and swell events like Big Wednesday 2007, N. Baja during the devistating wildfires of 2007 and fun trip to El Salvidor with good friends. I'm confident you haven't seen this film because it was shelved by VAS Entertainment and never saw the light of day outside of San Diego. Enjoy...
