It is only because of the AAFilmlab that I was able to produce my first short film, “Paper Dogs.” As the story goes, the AAFilmlab put together a short script contest which I was lucky enough to win by the slimmest of margins. From there we set about the task of producing the short.

This being the first script I’d written and therefore the first short I was to produce and ultimately direct, there was a lot to learn and that’s where the AAFilmlab stepped in.

Besides providing additional funding for the project, most importantly, the AAFilmlab connected me to a Director of Photography, Production Manager, Assistant Director, and Script Supervisor. With this fine cast of characters and with A LOT help from my friends, we put together a crack crew which can never in my heart be matched again.
