@ubcmswim @ubcwswimming "Built For the Hundredths"

Many thanks to go around for this one! Super grateful to Cole and Derrick, as well as all our swimmers and aquatic staff for making this possible.

I'm very lucky to have had such a talented crew on this one. Special thanks to our amazing underwater crew who took so much stress and guesswork out of the entire process.

Huge thank you to the wonderful @bradenhaggerty for your continued enthusiasm and support, as well as to everyone I asked for advice on my first time shooting underwater. Super proud of what we were able to accomplish!

Playing around with a 32mm Ultra Prime for a lil ACAM 350 assignment. Dialogue not allowed and exact TRT of 2mins. Was lots of fun directing some improv between @ritishajhambb and @conradkuhlmann . I gave them three takes for the master, with a different prop to work with each time. After choosing which prop motivated my favourite performance (a Canada golf visor), we went in for coverage.

Tish took it a step farther and reached out to @joshsantosmusic who killed it with a fun lil experimental score for this one!

7 months down the DP path — first time festival selected and screened at the Rio was a lil wild. This was a fun one. For @sngfest — $250 max budget and everything had to fit in the back of a Prius. Fun script, best team! Let's run it back next year 🕺🕺

Quick lil shoot for ACAM 350 final short! Ended up with a fun cam package on this one, tried to keep setups minimal for our lovely cast to take centre stage in what was a very emotionally driven story. Huge thanks to all who made it happen 😋
