The Broadcast Was Not Secure: From Max Headroom to YouTube Analog Horror is a short video essay created for Full Sail University’s HUM3505 Popular Culture course. The project examines YouTube as a modern media platform and connects it to the earlier world of broadcast and public-access television, where video felt scheduled, centralized, temporary, and controlled by stations, networks, and cable systems. Using the 1987 Max Headroom broadcast intrusion as the pop culture connection, the film explores how a real broken-signal moment became part of media folklore. The project does not argue that Max Headroom directly created YouTube analog horror. Instead, it focuses on aesthetic inheritance: the way modern analog horror uses VHS decay, corrupted broadcasts, fake alerts, distorted audio, and unstable transmissions to recreate the fear that the signal was never truly secure. The film combines archival media, original narration, editing, motion graphics, glitch design, sound design, and personal reflection to explore how media changed from something audiences received into something creators can upload, remix, and send back into culture.

Beverly Hills Clean is a three-part commercial campaign created for Full Sail University’s Digital Cinematography program. The project includes 15-second, 30-second, and 60-second spots for a fictional premium cleaning brand. Featuring Alex Fotschky and Xavia Fotschky as actors and crew, the campaign highlights commercial storytelling, cinematography, editing, pacing, sound design, and branded visual style. I approached the project as a polished commercial campaign rather than a single ad, giving each version its own rhythm while keeping the same overall brand identity. The shorter spot focuses on quick impact, the 30-second version expands the concept, and the 60-second version gives the story more room to breathe.
