Diamonds in the Rough 💎
Sometimes you’re searching for the perfectly polished actor… and sometimes you’re not.
After a national search for Instacart and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP EBT), we found our true gems right here in our own backyard.
A real mom and her kiddo.
A real relationship.
Real moments.
There’s something special about capturing authenticity — and for this sentimental Instacart x SNAP EBT partnership spot, nothing felt more powerful than the genuine connection between them.
Proof that sometimes the best casting call is close to home. ✨

Had the pleasure of spending two incredible days at College of the Ozarks, leading masterclasses on the industry, voice, and artistry.
These photos highlight Day 2️⃣:
Masterclass Focus – Singing with acoustics & reframing vocal technique in acting terms to stay grounded and present in the moment on stage.
Grateful for the curiosity, talent, and heart each student brought to the room. ❤️
Thank you CofO for bringing us out!

Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. 🔥
I still remember our first phone chat about this project. Nathaniel and his incredible team at Slate and Glass were gearing up for a massive, two-part music video for the insanely talented country rock duo, Muscadine Bloodline.
This shoot needed everything — brilliant actors who could go from gritty and intense to deeply intimate and emotional. We had epic fight choreography, a top-tier weapons master, and three full days of filming in the elements: rain, cold, and literal mud pits. 🥶💥
I couldn’t be more proud of this team. It’s a true honor to see this project named one of four GOLD TELLY award winners alongside of other huge music artists.
This is one shoot I’ll never forget — and I’m beyond grateful we were a part of it.
Huge thanks to our cast and crew for absolutely crushing it. 👏

🍻 Alcohol abuse prevention is a tough subject — so how do you make the message stick? Well… THIS is how. 👏
We love a clever spot, and this one is IT. It literally makes us smile every time we see it. 😄💡
Huge congrats to the entire team and the amazing talent who brought this one to life!
