Staś [sh]

New work!  This was a particularly memorable one for me as I was scheduled to do an intense medical procedure involving chemo and a stem cell transplant the week this was expected to shoot.  The procedure would take me away from my two little children for a month, with a prolonged recovery period afterward.

After reading the creative, I found the parallels to our family’s story too close to ignore and decided to push the medical procedure a couple of weeks, allowing me to shoot this spot.  My own kids and our situation were in the back of my mind during pre-pro and on set, feeding into everything I did.  

I’m very pleased with the results.  Thank you to Rise and Shine for the trust and to everyone involved for the hard work.
