During the span of seven years, Carrer was hired by Kevin Zinger, a producer and media entrepreneur based in San Diego, California. During this time Carrer travelled in a van, shot and directed nearly 50 music videos across Los Angeles and North America for Zinger's management company Regime72 and record label Suburban Noise Records. Some of the artists included Eyes Set to Kill, Swollen Members, Kottonmouth Kings, Unwritten Law, X-Clan and Hed p.e.
Prior to directing music videos, Carrer made his directorial debut with film director Chad Archibald at the age of twenty-three with their ultra low budget horror film Desperate Souls (2004). The film was later released by Alliance Atlantis (Canada) and Lions Gate Films (U.S). Soon after the release, Carrer and Archibald co-directed another film called Kill (2005), which featured much of the same cast from Desperate Souls. The film was nearly lost due to the digital footage being damaged, but was recovered and had a late release by Troma Entertainment.
The third film Carrer helmed shortly after was entitled If A Tree Falls (2010), written by Ry Barrett. It had its world premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival. The film was picked up and released internationally by Raven Banner Entertainment.
