can’t wait for the next meet up 💯‼️
do it Major 🚀
Such an awesome week working with @everypointmatters and learning under the leadership and organization of @smooth_wave_ and @craig.thecreative . Blessed to have met so many talented creatives with their own unique perspective on digital sports. Motion with this crew different 🙂‍↕️
Great start to May… a mix from the last 10 days.
Huge shoutout to @smooth_wave_ and @craig.thecreative for bringing me onto the best team ever assembled. You guys killed it.
Couldn’t be more grateful for these opportunities.
Thank you to everyone who has believed in me from the beginning. Can’t wait to see what the future brings.
At different points in my life, when someone would say that I am living the dream, I would respond with “somebody’s” as a fun little joke. I can say with full assurance that this past week was not somebody’s dream; it was mine. All the hours spent in high school gyms, convention centers, and various places around the country led to this last week. But this week would have been nothing without some special people.
@_mikemoline@jaimewestonparouse - Thank you for the belief in our team to get this job done. Your week-long encouragement of the squad Craig and I put together was immense. Thank you for the opportunity to work with MLV, and we look forward to the next project.
@craig.thecreative - My right-hand man! We always talked about doing something this big, and to have pulled it off feels incredible. As we have both said to each other, this is just the beginning. So many more projects on the back of this one, my guy. Thanks for being who you are.
@drakofilmzz , @ryanjayschmidt , @brodiephotoz , & @dlo_visuals - You guys carried this week with all the video! So proud of how hard you worked doing things outside of the job description. Thank you for your willingness to do long days without complaining and with excellence in your craft. Special shoutout to Ryan, who probably had a comnbined total of 5 hours of sleep for the week.
@astroo.shots & @grantwild_ - The photo team that killed it this week! Amber, you are such an incredibly hard worker and, lowkey, an insane athlete (top golf was wild). Thank you for keeping us on track at different times this week and being a “glue” teammate all week long. Gwild, funniest dude on the squad. Could not have done this week without your positive attitude. Your laugh and demeanor are so infectious and helped keep the group positive in stressful moments.
More thank yous in the comments!
THIS IS A MAJOR DREAM.
About 5 years ago, I started filming this great sport of volleyball. Like every great idea, it has its ups and downs and even still to this day, I am learning and growing. 4 years ago, Every Point Matters was born after filming 18 straight days of Volleyball in convention centers.
This week was one of the moments I will never forget. Our team—every point matters—had the wonderful opportunity to film the Content day, Semi Finals, and Finals for the MLV Championship 2026 in Frisco, Texas.
Thank you to Mike Moline, Rob Carolla, Kelly Ricci, Jamie Weston and the entire staff at MLV for trusting Colby and me to come capture some amazing athletes, we can wait to see what is next.
Since day one, Colby Bonewitz has been my partner through it all. We’ve spent countless hours talking through ideas and putting a plan in place for execution. Thank you for being the brother you are and so proud to be able to be able to lead a team with you.
Antwan, thank you for being the creative director for the project and the lead editor. I genuinely don’t know what we would have done without you.
Thank you to the 4 most talented videographers who made this project work. Drake, Daniel, Brodie, and Ryan.
Amber and Grant you two are the funniest and coldest photographers I know. Thank you for your hard work this week.
Alex, your work behind the scenes of helping Antwan ingest and edit footage is something we needed and thank you for all your hard work.
Matt and Yhni thanks for joining the crew and creating the best graphics we’ve ever seen.
Chris thank you for handing the majority of the small tedious tasks of the week. Although they may seem small, they are so much needed.
Janell, you are second to none. Thank you for your knowledge of the game and your personality. You’re certified.
Jocelyn, Courtney, and Sevrin. It was a pleasure to work with each one of you this week. Happy Belated Bday Courtney. Thank you for having us.
Mikayla you came in clutch for our team. Thank you for hopping right in when we needed it. We appreciate you more than words. Sometimes the best ability is availability.
