Dermalactives
I worked as line producer, photographer, and video editor for Dermalactive’s 2024 social content and business-to-business videos. I shot on the Nikon Z6 with Kipon Baveyes focal reducer and Pentax 67 lenses, while camera operator Maty Young shot on the Blackmagic Cinema Camera 6k and Ronin RS3.
I edited the 7-in-1 LED video and Instagram Reels in Adobe Premiere Pro. I hired the narrators and models through backstage casting.

Vulture (A Milgrim Experiment)
Made for a 2019 LA-based 24-hour film challenge short. Two naive men, the morning after a house party, an unplanned encounter in a kitchen, and an unexpected twist of fate propel them into a perplexing predicament. Enter a cunning manipulator, a Vulture, a story that delves into the influence of authority and how a single commanding voice can lead us to accept almost anything unquestioningly. Written and Directed by Mathew Young. Cinematography by Zachary Dripps & Mathew Young. Starring Alec Ebert, Sanjay Nambiar, and Dalia Rooni.
Shot on my Panasonic AG-LA7200 anamorphic lens and Maty Young’s Blackmagic Pocket Cinema Camera 4k.
