From the bottom of my heart - thank you to our incredible production team, who gave their all to every single moment 🧬 Months of pre-production led to one unforgettable week of filming, and this experience will stay with me for the rest of my life. Every cast member 🇰🇷✈️🇺🇸, crew member, and extra brought something truly special to this project. Can’t wait to dive into post-production and bring this story to life.

I’m so grateful for the opportunity to DP for director Michael Giacchino @m_giacchino and Angus MacLane on their proof of concept film, Death Vendor. When I was seven years old, I watched The Incredibles in theaters; it was the very first animated film I saw on the big screen. Along with Up and Ratatouille, so many films inspired me… Michael’s scores truly shaped my childhood - his recent work of course continues to move me through beautiful storytelling. Also, I simply grew up watching Angus’s work, from WALL-E to Toy Story to Finding Dory… you name it. Just to share the same vision and collaborate with the two legends was just so inspiring. A huge thank you to my crew, who brought their best to every shot. So proud of what we created. I can’t share more right now, but I truly can’t wait to see the finished film❤️ Thank you, God, for this experience- one I will cherish for a long time, proving that I am on the right path.

Wow. Sundance 2026…A year I won’t forget. Thank you to @sundanceorg and the Sloan Foundation for believing in Stem @stemthefilm once again with another award. Receiving the Sundance/Sloan Development Fellowship truly feels like a reminder that this story needs care and intimacy…and that it’s worth telling with intention☺️🫡 Being at the festival this year, and feeling the spirit of why Robert Redford and his team founded the institute in the first place, was incredibly moving. Community, curiosity, and real support for artists🏔️I got to make so many new friends and collaborators 🙌🏻 Truly grateful to be part of this year’s festival and for everyone who made this year possible…and excited for the years ahead in Boulder!

I’m incredibly grateful to @sundanceorg for taking a chance on me and @stemthefilm ❤️Thrilled to announce that my feature film <Stem> has been selected for the 2026 Sundance Screenwriters Intensive!! This truly feels like a dream come true. I’m so thankful for the support Stem continues to receive as it moves closer to becoming a feature film. Stem is a psychological drama-thriller about a female scientist drawn into groundbreaking stem cell research that promises to end human disability - only to uncover a dark truth that pushes her to her limits. I recently shot a short film / proof of concept (currently in post-production) as part of this journey. I feel deeply called to bring this story to life. Huge thanks to all the collaborators who have believed in me and in Stem. More to come - please stay tuned☺️😉

Excited to share my NEW Cinematography work for the dystopian sci-fi film AT WHAT COST. This project is so close to my heart because I had the privilege of helping my brother @arobfilms bring to life a personal story he’s been developing for years. Thank you for trusting me 🤍 We set out to bring a unique perspective to the world of the film. At its core, the story follows a young couple navigating their relationship in a dying world…yet there’s still hope to save both. Our goal was to ground an intimate, personal drama within extremely fantastical circumstances. We leaned heavily into handheld camerawork to capture the raw performances🤗 CAST @msayandadube @quincyeveridge @ob_eji @raquellewallace CREW Writer/Director: @arobfilms Producer: @mikewerner13 Producer: @charlotteontheeweb 1st AD: @andypkovac 1st AD: Candace Williamson Cinematographer: @daeildale 🙋 Production Designer: @elise_frances_garner Art Director: Sophia Osborne Gaffer: @soupmanjack Gaffer: @cinemuseo KG: @natalie_nneal +more G&E crew🙏🏻 1st AC: @marguerite.bysshe Steadicam Operator: @robertdutton_cam Color: @raremedium.tv Colorist: @rachelk__ Color Producer: Lucy Gatanis GEAR @arri_rental @atlaslensco @nanlite_global @nanluxamericas @dfirentals @dehavencamera @intellytech @creamsource @filmconvert @dehancer.film #behindthescenes🎬 #filmlighting #filmlook #cinematographers

In this speculative concept created by @daeildale under @nextsharkprojects , we imagine a future where artificial intelligence isn’t just a tool — but a bridge to memory, emotion, and connection. Starring @ianohofficial , from the hit show Beef, this piece explores what it might look like to preserve the voice of someone we love — and use technology to revisit the moments that mattered most. — 🚨 Disclaimer: This is a speculative commercial made for creative purposes only.
