DJ

In the process of getting this website together, I had to go through a bit of my past.  While gathering clips from old projects and photos, one project that I came across was a short doc I made in college.  Before that I had made a number of narrative shorts, but abandoned pursuing a career in filmmaking, choosing instead to focus on my other passion, journalism.  But anyway, in college I took one class that really had an impact, a humanities course called "The Documentary Eye".  I wish I remembered the name of the professor, so I could track him down and thank him for introducing me to the Maysles, Pennebaker, and Wiseman, filmmakers who changed the way I saw the art of documenting reality.  The film I made for that course, a short doc titled DJ, was my first attempt at a making a documentary.  While the result is admittedly a bit rough, it was a lot of fun to make.
