As a 25-year veteran of the Out Of Home (OOH) Marketing and Print industries in both Manhattan and Long Island, I have refined my skills when it comes to the finer aspects of color, design, layout, and planning.
From concept to delivery, the invaluable skill set I have refined over the years establishes me as an important asset to any any creative team.
Let's get started.
VIDEO EDITING AND PRODUCTION
DNSN Productions
For quite some time, the idea of creating and managing my own Video Channel has been a passion project that I've wanted to really put work into. As the owner of DNSN Productions, I've also taken on the role of co-star, video editor, and graphic designer all while managing episode guests, social media aspects, and other logistics that go into putting a review show together.
Please enjoy an episode or two along with a short film I co-produced under the DNSN Productions label.

ALANNAH'S AUTUMN
A DNSN Short Film
In the Fall of 2018, Drunk Nerd Sober Nerd took part in The Sparrow Film Project's "SFP2018: 3 weeks to make a 3-minute film."
This 15th iteration of the Sparrow Film Project focused on Art & Sound, a deceptively difficult task to accomplish in just 3 short minutes as each team of filmmakers who signed up was given a work of art and a required piece of music. Boticelli's 'Primavera' was the inspiration of this film.
