My initiation into the world of unscripted television began with SUBVENUE, an underground (literally) music show centered around Subway Musicians. Picture my creative partner and me darting through the NYC subway system in the early ’90s, capturing the essence of these musicians, conducting interviews, and weaving it all into bite-sized, online-viewable mini-episodes.
Since those early days, the landscape has exploded with docu-style, reality-based shows, thanks in no small part to the rise of social media, YouTube, and Vimeo, empowering anyone to create, produce, and share their own shows.
Enter my next endeavor, Truth Remains, a true crime series delving into the casework of Psychic Medium and (former) police detective Sheri Hawk. Without the luxury of footage, we meticulously recreated the cases through b-roll research and interviews. We collaborated on each case, strategically selecting the most compelling and significant stories to craft a one-of-a-kind series for the audience on youtube.com. Each episode was then turned into a podcast for distribution on major platforms Audible, iTunes, YouTube, and Spotify.
Following that venture, and still in production, is an enchanting journey with the Henneman family. Their side hustle transformed into a legendary dog adventure camp in Savannah, GA. Brace yourself for this wild, off-the-cuff, and spontaneous development experience, featuring a vast library of social media clips and VR experiences.

RUNING THE PACK | Merchandise
The production team enthusiastically embraced the concept of show branding and merchandising. I brought this vision to life by creating an abstract logo, seamlessly integrating it across the entire range of merchandise on the runningthepack.tv/shop. From stylish dog bowls and collars to cozy pillows, trendy hats, hoodies, and caps, the brand even extends to a custom VR headset—an immersive touch that elevated the entire experience.
METAVERSE AND VIRTUAL REALITY
In content creation it’s more than just a single area of focus.
Exploring the myriad delights of RUNNING THE PACK includes immersing oneself in a virtual reality experience with the dynamic dog pack. Enabled by accessible 360-degree cameras and platforms like YouTube and Facebook VR, this adventure comes alive.
The Henneman family, integral to production, embraces the challenge of capturing stunning shots for social media and the VR realm. Strapping 360 cameras to the dogs, they embark on long walks, capturing breathtaking footage featured on YouTube VR channels compatible with any VR headset.
Inspired by this virtual world, I crafted the custom Running the Pack VR headset, available for purchase on the runningthepack.tv website, offering enthusiasts a tangible connection to the show’s exhilarating VR content.
RUNNING THE PACK is shot using the Blackmagic 6k, Sony A7Riii, Panasonic 4K, and GoPros—to capture the essence of the show. VR footage, shot with the Insta360 One, elevates the immersive experience

Every episode of ALL TRUTH REMAINS embodies a relentless creative collaboration, with writing, production, and direction seamlessly intertwined.
