Iâve been told I live in the past. But Iâm really just trying to live in the 80s, which ironically is like living in the future.
Iâm either ahead of the curb in fashion, or way behind. Either way, I donât think Iâm fitting in.đ

Watching this makes me emotional. Shout out to my beautiful wife and beautiful son.

Yesterday I pretended to play DiscGolf where I also pretended to throw out my shoulder. My fake wife drove me to the ER. A fake receptionist guided us to a room where a fake DR ordered an X-Ray. The fake tech used accurate precision and a fake nurse put me in a sling and sent us home.
Pretend to say a prayer đ for my speedy recovery!
Awesome day shooting with the beautiful team @sublimemediagroup

In 1962, during his Rice University speech, JFK said âWe choose to go to the Moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hardâŚâ
It wasnât just about going to the moon, but he mentioned âthe other thingsâ.
I live my life by those words I choose to do âthe other things.â The hard things. The difficult things. Itâs made me a better man than I used to be.

Celebrating the birth of a true pioneer, John Cassavetes. He revolutionized indie film and left a lasting impact. He IS the reason why Independent Film exists. Taking it back from the Hollywood executives as a true form of art expression!

Casting can make or break a story. đŹ
And I learned that the hard way on âDeep.â
We wrapped the production for Blackstone Cherryâs âDeepâ over a month ago, and Iâm still reflecting on how crucial casting was for this project.
This song dives into grief, loss, and the fragile journey of healing and telling that story meant finding the right people who could step into those emotional depths.
Not only that but when youâve got a child actor involved...everything gets compounded and complicated REAL FAST if you don't cast well. You see, itâs not just about picking someone who can act. Itâs about trust, care, and making sure every moment feels authentic, without crossing any boundaries.
Casting made this story real. Every second spent getting the right people for the roles paid off...TRUST ME. The actors brought honesty and fearlessness to their performances, turning what couldâve been a concept into something the audience will actually feel.
Itâs a reminder: the right people turn a project from good⌠into something unforgettable.
Iâm beyond proud of this team and canât wait for you to see the final video in early 2026. đĽâ¨

Some projects just hit different. đŹ
We just wrapped the music video for Blackstone Cherryâs âDeepâ, and honestly⌠this one stings. Itâs about loss, pain, and trying to find your way back to light when everything feels like it's falling apart.
When youâre telling a story this personal, you canât fake it. Every choice...the lighting, the movement, the tone. Has to serve the emotion.
Thatâs why pre-production was everything for this one. Itâs not the most glamorous part of filmmaking, but itâs the most important.
We spent hours breaking down the story, understanding the emotional arc, and making sure every frame hit with both grief and healing. It had to feel real, not just like something pretty on a screen.
A song like this means something to people, and the visuals had to carry that same weight. Authenticity was key.
Itâs a reminder that filmmaking isnât just about capturing cool shots. Itâs about translating emotion. You canât rush that.
You have to slow down and understand the story first. Thatâs where the magic happens.
Hereâs a little BTS from setâŚ
A lot of sweat. A lot of stillness. And a whole lot of purpose behind every frame.
What story are you telling? Whether itâs for a client or a passion project, are you letting the emotion drive your work?
