I create custom projects for clients

My creative community is based in Madison, Wisconsin and includes gifted actors, visual artists, directors, writers and comedians. I collaborate with clients and other creatives both locally and over long distances. Here is my ongoing show with Matt Sloan and Craig Johnson, Welcome to the Basement, and here is the Chad Vader series by Blame Society Productions, where I contributed cinematography and production design.

Rates for Project Elements

Here are rates that I use to create a custom estimate for your project. The first half hour of consultation is free of charge. Rates are accurate as of 2018.
