FILM CREDITS
PHOENIX, OREGON • FEATURE FILM
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
A comedy of midlife reinvention and the redeeming power of friendship. Defying midlife haze, two friends seize an unlikely opportunity to reinvent their lives, quitting their jobs to restore an old bowling alley and serve the “world’s greatest pizza.”
Starring James Le Gros, Jesse Borrego, Lisa Edelstein, Rey Gallegos, Diedrich Bader, Kevin Corrigan. Directed by Gary Lundgren.
TWIN PEAKS: THE RETURN • TV SERIES
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY • ASHLAND UNIT • LOG LADY SEQUENCES
I recently had the remarkable experience shooting several scenes for Showtime’s new Twin Peaks series with director David Lynch and “Log Lady” actress Catherine Coulson. Guided by a few brief conversations with the series cinematographer Peter Deming, I worked with a small Ashland-based crew to serve as Director of Photography for all of the Log Lady sequences for this new season.
I had previously worked with Coulson on the movies Calvin Marshall and Redwood Highway, as well as several smaller projects. She not only was a gifted actress, working regularly with the Oregon Shakespeare Festival, but had been a camera operator and assistant camera on movies like Night on Earth, Star Trek II: The Wrath of Kahn, and Eraserhead, among others.
The experience of working with Lynch and Coulson – shooting in her Ashland home only days before she passed away – made for an unforgettable evening. Twin Peaks: The Return is available on Showtime and Blu-Ray/DVD.
BLACK ROAD • FEATURE FILM
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Set in the autonomous, rebel State of Jefferson in 2029, an ex-military cyborg risks his life to protect a mysterious woman from her dangerous ex. He’s aided by his A.I. implant “Clyde” who proves partner and friend.
Starring Sam Daly, Simon Templeman, Leilani Sarelle and Andrew Wilson as the voice of Clyde. Directed by Gary Lundgren.
It’s got it all: Black Road is definitely a ‘neo-noir,’ and a damn fine one at that.
REDWOOD HIGHWAY • FEATURE FILM
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
Living in a retirement community, estranged from her family, Marie decides to journey 80 miles on foot to attend her granddaughter’s wedding. Along the way, she discovers that you’re never too old to learn something about life & yourself.
Starring Shirley Knight – two time Academy Award nominee and Tony Award Winner, Golden Globe Winner, two time EMMY Winner, Venice Film Festival Best Actress Winner; As Good As it Gets, Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood, Desperate Housewives, Sweet Bird of Youth; and Tom Skerritt – two time Golden Globe nominee, EMMY Winner; Ted, Alien, Top Gun. Directed by Gary Lundgren.
Some films merit the mention of the cinematography, Redwood Highway is one of those films. Patrick Neary’s grasp of the film’s lifeblood is dazzling and nothing short of genius. He captures the majesty of the Redwood National Forest and the breathtaking beauty of the Northern California/Oregon coastline and leaves the viewer breathless, lost in their own imagination.
5 Stars. Redwood Highway is both heartwarming and courageous. A feel good movie. Redwood Highway is pure joy to watch. Every actor serves the piece with a stand-out-performance; played beautifully by Shirley Knight, with particular attention to every detail, with a special nod to Tom Skerritt. If you like warm gentle coming of age stories, see Redwood Highway and yes bring some tissue.
Downright charming. The fiercely independent Marie is someone we root for, worry about and wring our hands over in equal measure.
Shirley Knight relishes her return to the limelight. Audiences will be delighted by her warm, stirring performance. It’s a low key charmer with a large souled performance at the center. One of the best roles of her career.
A perfectly fine walkabout through the scenic roadways and nearby woods of southern Oregon, Redwood Highway delivers in high spirits and fine thesping. Anchored by a warm, full-bodied turn by septuagenarian Shirley Knight (playing Marie). Traveling with Marie is a delight.
CALVIN MARSHALL • FEATURE FILM
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
A young man pursues his childhood dream to play baseball but struggles to make his Jr. College team. A hilarious, inspiring comedy about Calvin’s journey and the people who love him most.
Starring Alex Frost, Steve Zahn, Michelle Lombardo. Directed by Gary Lundgren.
Steve Zahn gives a career-best performance in this low-key gem. Lundgren’s screenplay beautifully juggles the story’s alternately comic and poignant elements and renders all three main characters with surprising depth.
Builds a moving portrait of small-town life and the fallout from unrealized dreams.
Calvin Marshall is well-supported by cinematography that captures the lure of the baseball diamond, and is a must-see for any baseball movie fan. Beyond that, this timeless film speaks to anyone who’s had passion but not the talent for a particular skill or sport.
Lundgren has a light touch and a weakness for wistful indie lullabies; it is the former that gives this classic coming-of-age film its distinctive ring.
Calvin Marshall is a grand-slam comic drama that’s heartwarming, funny, inspirational and, above all, triumphant.
You’ll cheer for Calvin Marshall – the man and the movie.

NIGHTSCAPE • FEATURE FILM
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
An emotionally-guarded drifter crosses paths with a phantom car responsible for a wave of supernatural violence. She must learn to trust again if she’s to end a lifetime of bad luck and help her newfound companions survive.
Shot on the Red MX and EPIC digital cameras and a vintage 35mm hand-cranked Mitchell movie camera. Directed by David Edwards.
Nightscape is an independent thriller with flair and style… The ghostly car looks perfect streaking across the screen, sporting a pearlescent glisten which pops vibrantly.

MR. RADIO • SHORT FILM
DIRECTOR OF PHOTOGRAPHY
An ironic silent comedy adventure about a man who becomes obsessed with listening to the radio in 1927. Filmed with 1920’s-era hand-cranked 35mm Mitchell camera, this black and white silent short features Craig Sailor as the gullible protagonist who deifies a radio announcer and loses his personal compass. The early days of broadcasting are recreated in detail with music, comedy and politics leaving their mark on our naive hero and reflecting the power of our contemporary entertainment/news media. Filmed in Tacoma with cast and crew from Portland, Seattle and Tacoma.
