Another at peek at the upcoming @chrismar_music video from @year.of.the.phoenix directed by @craigbass - shot by yours truly.

Had the privilege to film the one and only multi talented @katieclarko who is a joy to work with —such a wide range whether its off the cuff comedic quips or a brooding smoldering gaze like in these shots, she always delivers. Rumor has it she figure skates too?!

Thanks to gaffer @jamezzhampton for helping me push the drama in these shots, along with grip team @thebravebutterpecan @navvisualz @beckpotucek @vomit_flies

And the best gear to make it happen from @eleven04pro and @atlaslightingchicago

Sneak Peek from the #48hourfilmproject I got to DP last night for Director @craigbass with @year.of.the.phoenix — had an absolute blast and might have set a new personal record for single shoot day length 🥵— keep an eye out for this comedic buddy film about a pair of hungry vampires. Dropping soon! Couldn’t have done it, yet again without this amazing crew. Love you guys 🥰

This year, we awarded 101 grants to changemakers across the country. The American Empathy Project had a simple goal: get people in a room, together, to help their neighbors.

Interview stills from my latest work. I’m so proud of the entire team that pulled together to make this happen! What a privilege it was to get to use my talents to amplify the voices of people out there making a real difference.

The American Empathy Project film covers the efforts of some of the best among us who are taking initiative to make positive change in their communities as a direct response to the harm the current administration has caused. Big thanks to @americanhumanist for being the driving force behind this amazing project.

It’s officially live, go watch it now!! Humanist.org
