Day one of filming matters. A lot.
It sets the tone for the entire shoot — and honestly, for the whole movie. The visual language, the creative choices, the way the whole team functions… it all starts here. Nail day one, and everything else has something solid to build on.
We had such a great chat with our DP, David Ogle—not just about setting the tone for our shoot, but all things filming Turns Out It’s the Apocalypse… We Think.
Give it a listen wherever you get your podcasts.

MEET THE TEAM!
Say Howdy to Dave Ogle, our Director of Photography!
It's been a few weeks since we wrapped filming, and we are still in awe of the creative powerhouse that Dave was on set. He brought so much positive energy and awesome ideas; it was an absolute joy to work with him.
We CAN NOT wait for the world to see this film and the beautiful imagery Dave captured! We are reeling just looking at the dailies!!
Thanks a million, Dave.
Well he did it.
@jomiray made one of the most beautiful, funny, and truly honest experiences of theater that I’ve gotten to see. It was amazing to be a part of and to do it with such an incredibly talented group of artists.
Thanks Joe for everything. Here’s to another 20 years of friendship!
Some new work up on my Vimeo from a trip earlier this year to Canada with @hollisbennett and @yeahsammyshoots . Really amazing experience getting to meet and photograph these ranchers and what a beautiful place to do it.
Alberta you are something special.
Just finished an eye opening week filming in beautiful Southern Alberta. Real cowboys. Real families. And Real Canadian generosity. I’ll never forget it.
This experience was made possible by my friend and brother in arms @hollisbennett . Always curious and so passionate to make beautiful images about people that so many of us forget exist but rely on every day.
And I can’t say enough about the wonder that is @yeahsammyshoots . “Little Magic” is what I call him and every experience I get to have with him enriches me.
Excited to share this slice of a different wonderful world with you all.
This post is a long time coming. I am so incredibly proud of being a part of this doc series for @evolvestudios .
There is nothing like embedding with a team and delivering a show week to week. Especially when you get to do the whole thing with such great friends.
I’ll never forget it. Coach Cal you’re the best.
@evolveimg incredible pleasure to direct alongside you. @jenlewis825 you kept our train on the track! @aaronleeseldon fought like hell to get the most out of all of our images as DP. @pmtownsend never better Daddy Cool. @leftyphotos you’re my Arkansas rock. @mariaevalletta what a great job ACing and Oping! @tannerlarson_ you’re a real one T! @dwayne_veritas_logan sing me to sleep with those golden pipes please!
Love you all!
Here are some stills from a Covenant Hospital spot I shot last year for my good friends @theframetheory . I think we struck a nice balance of seeing past the sterility of the hospital environment without losing the brands desires for keeping the images clean.
Thanks of course to gaffer @askforshane and my main man AC @ryanfuqua . And I promise in the future I will be better about my crew insta tags apologies 🙏🏼. Link to the full spot in bio.
Posting some work from last year that I directed for JP Morgan and BC Forward. Always fun working with @evolvestudios especially when @aaronleeseldon is DPing. We worked hard to elevate our visuals by using in camera transition effects mostly using diopters. And I think we got some really cool stuff. Full video is on my Vimeo (link in bio)
