My goal for 2025: Keep making stuff I care about with people I care about. Will figure out the rest later. ✌️ Thank you to everyone who helped out on these projects (and the ones yet to be released.) It’s a brutal time right now to be a filmmaker. But communities of creative people have always found ways to support each other and create art no matter what. I want to make sure @sunsetpointfilms puts that idea at the center of everything we do in 2025 and beyond!!

Tide x Rams “Big Whit, Big Stains, No Problem” Tailgating with Big Whit at a Monday Night Football game was like bringing Taylor Swift into the parking lot of the Eras Tour. An awesome team of security and Rams personnel helped keep us safe as we filmed some amazing genuine fan interactions among the chaos. @andrewwhitworth77 was such a pro and nailed the stain in two takes. Appreciate everyone’s hard work on this one!

2024 Work!!!! ‘No Catch’ starring @pukaizded for @littlecaesars and @rams ! It was a lot of fun adapting the national ‘No Catch’ campaign concept to something that felt authentic to Puka and LA. The SPF crew was incredible, making the most of our tight timeline! It took a lot of coordination to get this one shot. Grateful to everyone who lended a hand.
