Recent Work

On a freelance shoot, I worked as a PA and shot some footage for this promotional video for Tunnel to Towers. The non-profit organization Tunnel to Towers honors the sacrifice of firefighter Stephen Siller who laid down his life to save others on September 11, 2001.

They also support the military personal and first responders who continue to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country. One way Tunnel to Towers show their support is by dedicating new smart houses to wounded veterans and their families. This is one such dedication.
