I had an amazing time co-directing and co-shooting this award-winning web spot for Northwest Iowa Development with Paul David Benedict in which we contrasted the dreadful lives of those in the big city with those of northwest Iowa residents, who are showered with free cookies every day.

It was great fun to work with MAIDS again on this music video for their song, “Takes a Little Magic” which I shot with Joey Leaming. Jami Milne and Sarah Ivanovich coordinated a beautiful ballet dance to the song, which we filmed in black and white at Noce in Des Moines.
