Maybe this page name isn't fair since the majority of my "work" work is fun. Heck, I get to write about film festivals, hummus and holiday wishes for a living. These are the projects I've taken on as a labor of love. Some were collaborative, like the March Madness cat adoption campaign we helmed for the Austin Humane Society. Others were solo endeavors, like the stop-motion shorts I directed for miniature merriment at 10 frames-per-second. All were a joy to create.
