Believe in Him
The last few months I’ve enjoyed created several “book trailers” for Shadow Mountain Publishing. For this recent one, I visited the glass studio of Tom and Gayle Holdman.
RadFlix
Doug Holt, a high school friend of mine, recently asked me to travel with him to New York and Ohio to film a unique device he has created and installed for pediatric cancer patients. RadFlix allows children to stream movies and shows while undergoing radiation treatment.
Sacred Marks: A Story from the Childhood of Craig Jessop
Last year, my wife Becca and I interviewed Craig Jessop for a program I was producing for PBS Utah. Afterwards, Craig asked my wife and I an interesting question, “Could I show you my childhood home?” We got in the car and five minutes later were at a small 1950’s home in Millville, Utah. Craig told us about the story behind the home and I was so impressed. We also learned that Craig needed my wife’s opinion about the recent backyard renovation. (My wife is a paraplegic and uses a manual wheelchair… you’ll see why her thoughts would be helpful when you watch the video.) I reached out to Craig a couple months ago to see if we could come back to Millville and do a story. Hope you enjoy it.
Joy in the House of the Lord
About four years ago I was able to begin producing videos for Juan Diego Catholic High School, a phenomenal educational institution south of Salt Lake City, Utah. To celebrate the school’s 25th anniversary, I produced this short documentary sharing the story of its beginnings and impact on students and community over the years.
Unity
For 20 years I have loved the opportunity to create an annual video for the Cathedral of the Madeleine in Salt Lake City, Utah. This year, the theme was unity. We interviewed several members of the religious community in Salt Lake City and told the story of how the Bishop’s Dinner, a capital campaign to preserve the Cathedral began 20 years ago.
Kim, H. Joon, MD
I’ve been able to help create an online presence for many of the doctors at the Moran Eye Center in Salt Lake City, Utah by creating short physician videos. These introduction videos appear on the Moran Eye Center website and are used in social media and marketing.
The Original Wedding Videographer
I met Michael Nelson in the early 2000’s and have always be interested in is story. Michael can say he did something extremely unique: in 1984 he created the first commercial wedding video product. Michael discovered he could create an affordable video by shooting on a professional video camera, but recording to a consumer grade VHS deck via a speciality made cable. He then edited the videos shot by shot using two VHS decks.
The product wasn’t immediately popular, as many potential customers didn’t own VHS players. Michael would carry a television and VHS player to clients homes in hopes of making a sale. But 40 years and 2700 weddings later, Michael is still passionate about preserving history and memories through the wedding video.
Learning to Fall
This is a unique inspirational story from my wife’s childhood that I have been wanting to share for sometime. I’ve always found inspiration in Becca’s willingness to not fear failure, but use it as a means to eventual success.
Lets Build this House
The Madeleine Choir School asked if I could help create a short video introducing their capitol campaign to build a campus gym. They said they were open to any ideas…

Vinberg Laboratory
I get to create a number of videos for the Moran Eye Center at the University of Utah Hospital. Some of my favorites feature the research of the doctors there. Filming this video in Dr. Franz Vinberg’s lab was super cool. It’s inspiring to see the work he and other researchers are doing to prevent blindness.
Backstage with Neal McDonough
I love the opportunity I get each December to capture and then later edit together bonus content for the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square’s PBS Christmas program. This year I was able to follow narrator Neal McDonough backstage, capture an interview and put together this video that accompanies the show’s release on PBS.org and PBS Passport.
