New work!! Proud to have directed this super fun campaign for the town of Sevierville, Tennessee with the amazing folks at @visitsevierville A massive thank you to our absolutely killer crew, who all wore about 10 different hats to make this idea come to life!

Getting to film on roller coasters, ziplines, waterslides, and helicopters for a living is making 10 year old me over the moon. I hope you enjoy watching these as much as our whole team had making it!

What if Weyland Yutani were played for laughs 👽️?⁠

"Moondays" by @markd_films is a lunar drug trial that spirals into deadly chaos 💊💀 - all the bones of a sharp sci-fi thriller, with the soul of an absurdist dark comedy. @80spodcastchannel spotted the evil corporation at its heart immediately. We'll let you discover the rest.⁠

⁠
🎬️ Statement from the Filmmaker:⁠
My team and I crafted Moondays as a testament to how virtual production can empower indie filmmakers to tell visually ambitious stories that typically require blockbuster budgets. More than that, I wanted to use the sandbox of the tech to create something that I hadn’t really seen it be used for: an absurdist comedy. The result is what I describe as a very dark episode of Futurama. Something that’s dripping with all the aesthetic swag of a sharp sci-fi thriller, but bursting at the seams with classic slapstick gags and cartoonish characters. It’s such an unlikely pairing that the contrast itself becomes part of the joke. A sort of meta satire on the state of virtual production filmmaking today. Most modern sci-fi films take themselves really seriously, so I wanted to make sure that ours didn’t.⁠

Finally getting around to posting some official behind the scenes of our @visitsevierville commercials from earlier this year! We had the incredible time of shooting a number of amazing locations in Sevierville, TN. Can’t recommend visiting here enough — I can’t wait to go back asap!

Once again, massive shoutout to our entire production crew and all the support at @atlanticpictures for making this exceptionally imaginative piece come together.

Featuring the amazing attractions of Sevierville:

Excited to share this VFX breakdown from our Sevierville, TN Campaign! Featuring the amazing custom animals modeled, textured, and animated by the talented folks at @picturewizards and @seven_bison , and then composited in house at @atlanticpictures by me! Loved directing these spots and getting to watch our animals come to life has been magical.
