June 2022 🥹

These were the first 2-3 shorts I got the chance to DP!

I only got the opportunity because I wanted it & I asked for it. I can’t believe how fast time flies and how grateful I am for the friends I’ve made throughout the years in film. 🎥 #setlifebaby #cinema taken in Downtown ATL by @damonselfs

Spirit Halloween 🎃

My second ever feature. Started as PA -> Grip & Electric Swing.

I notice I don’t really post the sets that I’m on in my main feed and I’m going to start doing that more. Incoming of past , present, and future sets. I feel like I scroll through my feed sometimes and you guys don’t get to experience what I have been through!

“Faith & fear make poor bedfellows. Where one is found, the other cannot exist”

I just conquered one of my biggest fears… jumping out of a perfectly good airplane at insane heights. The fears we think are real, aren’t. So funny how life works.

Couldn’t have wanted to do it with anyone else. Such a great group of people. Thank you for pushing me… off an airplane.

I would totally do it again. If I could inspire you , I’d say take the step of faith, it’s worth it.

POV: You realize even a land care company can look cinematic.

Every business deserves content that reflects the quality of the work happening behind the scenes.

Whether you’re maintaining properties, building homes, serving coffee, or running a law firm, people buy from businesses they know, like, and trust.

Video helps bridge that gap.

Who says mowing grass can’t look like a movie? 🌱🎥

How to make them look OFFICIAL 👇

Most interviews don’t feel cinematic because filmmakers focus too much on the subject… and not enough on the frame around them.

A few small changes can completely change how professional your interviews feel:

• Stop centering every subject
Give them looking room and negative space. The frame should feel intentional, not symmetrical by default.

• Create depth
Separate your subject from the background. Foreground elements, distance from the wall, and layered composition instantly make interviews feel more cinematic.

• Light with motivation
Instead of blasting light directly at someone, ask yourself: where is the light naturally coming from? Window light, lamps, and motivated direction create realism.

• Shoot b-roll with purpose
Your b-roll shouldn’t just “look cool.” It should answer questions:
Who is this person?
What do they do?
What matters to them?

That’s what turns interviews into storytelling instead of just coverage.

Save this before your next interview shoot!
