When I got the opportunity to develop and direct the short documentary, Devil In The Wind, for the @americanredcross, I knew wildfire preparedness was important but—as a Los Angeles native—I didn’t think it applied to me.

Then, while in production on this piece, the LA wildfires happened and I watched good friends lose their homes and their livelihoods. It was then that I realized: wildfire preparedness isn’t just a rural America issue. It’s an everyone issue.

It was such a privilege getting to work alongside the American Red Cross team as they work tirelessly to make sure families across Washington State have the knowledge to protect themselves before disaster strikes.

Thanks to @levitatemediavideo and the incredibly gifted team of filmmakers and artists who made this project something special.

So pleased to be commissioned by the Northern California Water Association to paint three pieces inspired by the Sacramento Valley waterways.

Water shapes everything here—the farms, the wildlife, the communities, and the rhythm of daily life. NCWA’s mission to protect and sustain these resources is something I deeply care about.

As a California landscape painter, this kind of work means a lot to me—using art to bring awareness and connection to the places we call home.

Special thanks to Todd Manly and @norcalwater

Last fall, we were approached by the production company of Lilly Wachowski, a writer and director of the Matrix trilogy, to create the puppetry explainers for a new 8-part TV comedy series on the occult called Cassie Workman is Witchy AF. 
Our team built everything from scratch, including: face molds, rigging, clothing, and sets. Here’s a peak behind the curtain captured by an incredible collaborator and friend, 11th House Media (@11thhouse.media). Only a few people are captured here, but this was massive collaborative effort by: 
Joel Goulet, Ben Farber, Kyle Rynicki, Eloise Turner, Matthew Kadi, Justin Pine, Jimmy Bovard, Amanda Cook, Angela Ayala, Hilary Von Joo, Jesse Fernandes, Jessica Smith, Brady Comerford, Phong Tran, Adam “Murph” Murphy, Devon McMindes, Andy Richardson, Matthew H Maxwell, Robbie Landsburg, and Eric Howard

Hey everyone! Just finished working on an absolutely amazing project for the past three days with the most fantastic crew and cast. It was an incredible experience that left me feeling inspired and grateful to be a part of such a talented and hardworking team.

From very early morning call times to late afternoons on set, we all pulled together to make something truly special. I'm proud of what we accomplished and can't wait for you all to see it.

Working in this industry is not always easy, but it's moments like these that make it all worth it. Being surrounded by such talented and creative individuals is a constant reminder of why I fell in love with this craft in the first place.

I'm grateful for this opportunity and can't wait to see what the future holds. Thank you to everyone involved in making these past few days so unforgettable!

Today's adventure took me to new heights - literally! I had the incredible opportunity to film from a helicopter while flying next to another helicopter. The adrenaline rush was unreal! 🚁🔥

Capturing the aerial view of the world below was a surreal experience. The wind in my hair, the roar of the engines, and the breathtaking scenery all around me was truly unforgettable. It's moments like these that make me feel alive!

As I soared through the sky, I couldn't help but feel grateful for this amazing opportunity. It's not every day you get to see the world from above and capture it all on camera!

This adventure reminded me to never stop chasing my dreams and to always seek new experiences. Who knows where my next adventure will take me? 🤔

I just can't get enough of that anamorphic look! The way it stretches the image and creates those beautiful bokeh effects is just mesmerizing. And now, thanks to @siruiimaging it's finally affordable!

Shout-out to @osee.tech for making such an amazingly bright monitor that with it's 3000 nits lets me enjoy every bit of my favorite look!

What's your favorite aspect of the anamorphic look? Let me know in the comments!

Thank you @rolandocine for the bts shot!

I can hardly find the words to describe how incredible it was to work with this team of talented and passionate creatives on our latest commercial shoot. The synergy, the energy, the ideas, the execution... everything was just on point. It's amazing how much magic can happen when you bring together people who share the same vision and values, and who are committed to bringing their best selves to the table. Every person played a crucial role in making this project a success. And I'm so grateful to have been part of it.

It's moments like these that remind me why I love filmmaking so much. It's not just about telling stories, but also about collaborating with a community of artists who inspire, challenge, and support you. I can't wait to see the final product and share it with the world.

Thank you, everyone, for being amazing! And to all my fellow filmmakers out there, keep creating, keep pushing boundaries, and keep shining your light.
