RUNNING PIG HILL
It was amazing watching how the department bosses on Pig Hill operated. Truly elite.
Jason Baker – The heavyweight champion of the current generation of FX masters. His company, Callosum Studios, is loaded with talent, and his secret weapon (Mandy Baker) was a rock-star propmaster.
Lawreen Yakkel – Absolute general who marshaled the entire crew with fierce determination, overcoming every obstacle in her path. Super inspiring.
Mick Strawn – A wild magician who’s designed so many of my favorite movies. A fountain of knowledge, and I was honored to take lessons from him.
Emoi – Sonic mastermind. His score still gives me chills. Bonus: I met him at a Tim Cappello concert in Santa Cruz, so he’s permanently maxed out on cool points.
Donnie “Hollywood” McKinley – Made everyone look and feel iconic. Hollywood is the living embodiment of good magic. Priceless.
Tyler Eckels– The movie looks beautiful because Tyler’s mastery behind the camera is unquestionable.
Michael Thompson – Gutsy 1st AD who never backed down from a challenge.David Conk & CJ Padera – True alphas. Legendary stunt dudes.
Jessica Luhrssen – Greatest script supervisor in history. My favorite person. Love of my life. And the writer of the now-infamous nursery rhyme in the film.
PIG HILL releases on Digital & On Demand December 9th and is already available for pre-order on Amazon and Apple TV. If you love wild, gritty horror, come get some!

MAC-Z *spoiler free*
•
Shoutout to the massively talented, massively masterful, and massively MASSIVE stunt team that worked for months on the set of @strangerthingstv Volume 1’s epic showdown with the forces of the Upside Down.
•
These incredible performers/artists spent months choreographing, rehearsing, sweating, and straight up melting in Atlanta’s summer heat, flipping, flying, and throwing their bodies around like rag dolls, kicking ass like the absolute badasses they are!
•
Thank you for your hard work and dedication, and for making me feel like part of the team. You helped create one of the coolest sequences I’ve ever seen or been lucky enough to be part of. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
•
*If you love BTS/Making Of videos, search “Stranger Scenes: MAC-Z Battle”. That’s where these images are from. It’s truly remarkable! 👏🏼 👏🏼👏🏼

@stuntmanjae @funkcjp - thanks for keeping things light as we were in the thick of it and for keeping a straight face when I tried to make you giggle before some takes. 🤭
@jakestunts - thank you for taking all the hits and making me look good! 🫂

This could be my 2025 travel recap! I made this video in March after my friend Craig, shared the voicemail I sent to him. Fresh off my bucket list visit to Yosemite.

I remember thinking I wanted more moments like this in 2025! Feeling so grateful for this years travel. Here’s one from Yosemite National Park.
