Hope Bridge is a feature film directed by Joshua Overbay in conjunction with Rebel Pilgrum. I was in charge of the field recordings of all of the vehicles in the film. I rigged a Jeep Cherokee, Subaru Outback, and a Mercury Cougar with microphones to capture all of the sounds that cars make.

As It Is In Heaven is a feature film directed by Joshua Overbay. It was a micro-budget film that I was a Sound Effects Editor on. Being my first feature, I worked alongside Barry Blair, Supervising Sound Editor, cutting effects and recording vehicles. My primary task was cleaning up the recording shoots that we did and placing them into the film when appropriate. For more information visit the website at asitisinheaventhemovie.com.
