Elevation Church
Early in my filmmaking career I worked full time at a very large church in Charlotte, NC called Elevation Church. There was 6 of us on the Film Team and we all wrote, produced, directed, shot, edited, colored etc… multiple projects each, every week. During that season, I learned and began to specialize as the Cinematographer on the team. Below are some of the projects I shot, many of which I wrote, directed, produced, edit, etc… as well. This is only a small fraction of the work I created during this period.

A Whisper In The Chaos
Christmas Film.
Our team was tasked with coming up with a concept for a film that would be the majority of the Christmas sermon, that would set Pastor Steven up to give a short word and the call to salvation. The Christmas story is one of the oldest and most told stories… this was our take on a new lens to see it through.

Thanks Bruce
We made up a character for a conference named, Bruce. We created an interactive live tweet stream where you could ‘Ask Bruce’ anything and he would help you. From getting you coffee and bringing it to you, to answering ministry questions. We also had a photo booth where you could take photos with Bruce.
