Call for a reel or E-mail me at hawk-handsaw@charter.net. I'm based in LA, but I also have an apartment in New York and shoot there frequently.

I've worked all over the US and in Mexico, Canada, the Philippines, India, the Mideast, Hong Kong and other places so I'm familiar with shooting out of town. I've shot in jungles, hanging off the pontoon of a helicopter, silver mines, mountaintops, caves, subway tunnels and inside the fuel tank of a 737.

If you wish, I can provide names and phone numbers of directors, producers and production manager I have worked with on all types of productions.
