Portals

Director / Editor / Art Direction

"On the run with everywhere to hide."

Directed by Dean Pizzoferrato

Created for Film Fights TV. The goal was to create a short film using the first person perspective. The plot was left open for the audience to interpret for themselves. An experiment in mood if you will.

At any rate, my favorite part was reading the comments section on the YouTube page.

Father Son Run

Poster Illustration / Graphic Design

I recently had the opportunity to design the poster for the upcoming Indie Machine release, Father Son Run. I must say, I had a lot of fun with this project. It's a great flick with a lot of iconic imagery to play around with. Check out some of the poster variations to the right and be sure to check out the film at www.FatherSonSun.com, synopsis below...

FATHER SON RUN tells the story of Wally & Erik, a father and son who are trying to make up for lost time after spending most of their lives apart. Their plan? Film a documentary as they embark on a cross country motorcycle road trip from Wally's home in Fort Collins, Colorado to Erik's world in Brooklyn, New York even though Erik has never ridden a motorcycle (or made a documentary) before. FATHER SON RUN shows what can happen when a father and son try and fit a childhood worth of memories into 1,800 miles on the road.
