To date, I’ve written and directed eight shorts, including Cerise, Perfekt, and The Coconut, plus a feature-length film (that which we do not speak of). I also directed the pilot episode of a YouTube webseries called Something About Ryan, which won four awards between 2008 – 2010, and a music video for folk singer/songwriter Pepper Coat, which I am especially proud to showcase.
An avid foreign film lover, the works of Kieslowski, Fellini, Pasolini, and Bergman pervade much of my work.
Below is my film-/videography, complete with trailers and even whole shorts that I’ve done:

Hi John if you need a Film composer for any of your up and coming films I would be pleased to score for them. Thank you
Nicky.
Hey Nicky. Thanks for the offer. I just replied to your Tweet on Twitter. I’ll definitely keep you in mind. So far, I’m working on a trilogy of short films for sometime next year, but if I work on anything else that I think you’re music would fit, I’ll be in touch for sure.
