WRITER | DIRECTOR | PRODUCER
With a highly unique background in both Hollywood blockbuster/studio filmmaking, and the raw authentic realm of action sports, Todd merges dynamic visuals with cinematic and compelling stories with an edge.
Past projects include a multi-year collaboration with
Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger creating broadcast commercials, digital shorts, and documentaries for Arch Motorcycle Company.
Todd’s produced and developed original content for filmmaker David Leitch (DIR: Deadpool 2, Atomic Blonde, Bullet Train), including spots for Payless Shoes, action shorts, music videos, indie films, and feature film reshoots for such box office hits as John Wick (Keanu Reeves), Parker (Jason Statham, Jennifer Lopez), and others.
As a filmmaker, one
of Todd’s
screenplays is
currently in development at Universal Pictures; a sci-fi/action film he’s attached to direct, with Keanu Reeves and 87North producing.
Todd also created the family friendly action-spy-series Max & Midnight; launching to 50+ million organic YouTube views in just three months.
Originally from a small town in the white mountains, Todd
earned his degree from the University of Southern California’s School of Cinema-Television.
During that time, he became the first person to have competed in, judged, and filmed ESPN's X-Games. He also performed stunts and was featured in Michael Bay's Nike Super Bowl Series, Disney’s ‘Brink’, Warner Bros’ Batman trilogy, and many others.
After retiring from competition, New York’s
Focal Press hired him to write a ‘definitive guide to Filmmaking in Action Sports’.
From there, Todd
began a 6 year journey, documenting and shadowing hollywood filmmakers including producer/director Rob Cohen (The Fast & the Furious, xXx), writer Stuart Beattie (Collateral, Pirates of the Caribbean), Oscar winning cinematographer Dean Semler (Dances with Wolves), executive producer Chris Brigham (Bond, Argo), and more.
Beyond filmmaking, Todd was a co-founder of the leading influencer marketing agency, Semaphore Brand Solutions, an early investor in Southern California’s first LGBTQ+ focused coffee shop and educational space, Cuties, and a volunteer with the non-profit Stoked.org (mentoring under-served youth through action sports). Todd is a lifelong motorcyclist, snowboarder, and dog rescue advocate.
