On The Road

This series started in 2011 at SXSW. We sought to shot live music performances gorilla style, out on the streets of Austin. The series was such a success, that we brought the idea to North Texas. in the past 9 years, it's featured performances from nationally recognized artists (Ben Folds, Hozier, Marcus King) performing all over the metroplex and in the following years at SXSW.

The Shape of Texas: 13 Episode Series Broadcast on Texas PBS Stations

From the glittery, kitschy Beer Can House in Houston to the soaring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth, architecture helps tell the story of who we are in Texas. In “The Shape of Texas” video series, you can explore how our built environment holds our history, reflects our diverse cultures and projects our ambitions for the future. In these 13 episodes, you’ll visit the canyons where the state’s earliest residents left their mark, go backstage at a renowned concert hall, and see how a quaint chapel in the woods pays homage to women throughout history. This series is produced by KERA. It’s based on a two-minute radio program called “The Shape of Texas,” which was produced by the Texas Society of Architects and The South Texas Public Broadcasting System. It originally aired on KEDT radio in Corpus Christi and public radio stations statewide, and ran for 20 seasons.

Artist Spotlight

The Artist Spotlight series was primarily a radio series. I created video elements to profile artist covered in the series. Some of the profiles have aired on Dallas PBS TV, and three have received regional Edward R. Murrow awards for excellence in video, and one a national Murrow in the same category.
