howdy friends! I'm happy to let you know that my TEDx talk, "The Intention of Attention" has been released! In the talk I discuss how a random thrift store find launched me into a multi-year quest exploring how we use photography to capture the moments of...
hey friends! wanted to share a bit of what I've been working on the past few months, a super fun stop-motion series called "Hot Wheels City". I've been editing, co-writing, and have even done a few of the voices! it's been a blast to get to work...
hey friends, Happy New Year! hope the holidays were a joyous time for you and your families. I had a very nice break up in Washington State with my family. it even snowed on Christmas Eve! I'm working on my "Top 10" list as well as...
howdy friends! in the time since the last post a lot has happened. I went to Washington, then the San Diego Comic Con, and the Destiny 2 Beta was live. It was pretty cool to peak around the world and kick the tires of the new...
howdy friends! apologies for slacking on the blogging recently, I do plan on getting back into it with a more regular clip soon. earlier this week I was going some hard drive cleanup and I stumbled upon an animatic I'd made back in 2007. I'd completely forgotten...
hey friends! wow, it's been a really long time since my last posting. apologies for that! the last couple of months on the day job (HarmonQuest) were pretty all encompassing. not only that, but I was also writing a couple other projects at the same time....
hello friends, today I’d like to chat with you about “The Pitch Room.” this is a web series that me and my good friend, Troy came up with just over a year ago. this blog is going to talk about the process of developing the idea,...

hello friends, several years ago my short film CERTIFIED premiered on the website & cable channel FEARnet. at the time it was one of the leading places to see genre (especially horror) film. for the release they asked that I make a special introduction video -...
morning friends, or afternoon? or nighttime friends? I guess with my international readership it could be all three. (haha) but who’s got time for that kind of question? okay I’ll stop. this is what happens when I start writing before I finish my first cup of...

hey friends, quick post today, it's an animation from 1914 called "Gertie the Dinosaur". kind of interesting that one of the earliest examples of "character" animation wasn't with a person, or mammal, but with an imaginary extinct creature. KPCC wrote a post that goes into greater depth...
hello there! this morning a friend sent me this short video on the science of "productivity." it's actually a pretty accurate description of how I manage my time and motivate myself to write. check it out! what about you? do you have any tricks, tips, "life hacks,"...
hey friends, here's a fun 11 minute cartoon for you. it's an irreverent and silly Hans Christian Andersen sort of tale. hope you enjoy it! -Luke...
hey friends, sorry for the long absence. working on a new script collided with the World Cup, and then bled into getting a new full-time gig. I'll write more about that later. but in the effort of getting back into the swing of blogging, here is...
