Looking back on filming @wegfilm where it all stared with this amazing team of people 🙏

We had to be inventive to get some shots

@wrk_media kept the camera steady in the trunk for a long tracking shot

@the_alexemanuel and @catherineblades had such great chemistry as father and daughter, really bringing so much life to every scene together

@catherineblades also has photography skills, stealing this photograph during a scene with a Polaroid

There was a lot of running during the shoot so I took every chance I had to lay down and relax, especially during drone shots

@the_alexemanuel pre-take locking in with the steely gaze

Speaking of gazes…

@mikeytuesday and my co-director @mindfirexl kept that canoe steady so @wrk_media could get the right shot of the shoreline

Not tons of bts video since we were such a small crew, but capturing this small setup to an action beat will always be something I’m glad I captured

You can watch it today on @tubi or you can rent or buy it on @primevideo or @appletv

Another great stop on @everydayiowa9 🧡

Right here in Cedar Rapids, you can find a little bit of everything at @vytylstores from comforting home cooking to new and unique finds you may have never tried before!

But what makes the experience even more special? The people. So welcoming, friendly, and happy to share their culture and traditions with our community!

Have you visited Vytyl Stores yet? 👇

School bells are ringing, routines are returning, and summer’s final chapter is closing across the country. 🔔🏫🌅

The open road may have given way to the school-day rush, but that does not mean family adventure belongs in the rearview mirror. As the new school year gathers speed, how can parents keep children eager to explore beyond what they already know?🪞🤔🛣️

One lifelong educator is proving that discovery does not require a departure—shared stories can spark big questions, send imaginations soaring, and bring even the ends of the Earth within reach. 📚✨🌎

Children's Author, @ThreadsStudioBooks, joins Amy Johnson and Justin Roberts on @KCRGTV9's @EverydayIowa9 to reveal how books can become passports to the world—opening young minds, turning courage into classroom confidence, and inspiring children to welcome unfamiliar faces—along with the real-life adventure behind her new children’s book, A Magical Summer Day: An Antarctica Tale (published by @MiriamLaundryPublishing). 🐧📖🦭

If you're a children's author looking for dedicated PR support to share your inspiring story and new book with the media—and reach more parents, families, and educators leading into and throughout the holiday season—contact us to learn how @PRFromTheHeart can elevate your author journey. 💜

Thank you for helping us walk home the children of Iowa and our little neighbors around the world. 👦🏿👦🏽👦🏻🙏🏻👧🏻👧🏽👧🏿

Had a great time going live on Everyday Iowa yesterday to share more about @renewalfallsrecoverycenter and what we’re bringing to the Cedar Valley!

I can confidently say this will be the coolest thing I’ve ever been a part of in my career, and I can’t wait for people to experience it.

Renewal Falls officially opens Monday, September 14th! 🙌

Huge thank you to @everydayiowa9 for having us on and giving us the opportunity to share what we’re building!

Year 5 of Camp Yesandia starts today. Whose troupe are you in?

Take a trip through all four camps before! To every camper and counselor we’ve ever worked with- thank you. You make the DNA of what makes Yesandia unique. No place in America like it. Camp is magic and we cannot wait to make that magic again this week!

Thanks to Ian Herrin (UCB), Lucy Mee (CIG), Kevin Hosbond (Grinnell), Catherine Blades (Everyday Iowa), Nicole Schroeder (Wired Production Group), and Suzi Barrett (Yes, Also) for giving time to wish our campers well. #humbleimprov
