Massive thanks to the DZO team for the support and trust on this one. One day to night split in Guangzhou later and we knew we had some magic on our hands. These lenses are lightweight little beauties and allow for some very versatile shooting!

Put the co-directing hat on (along with a few others) for this one with the homies.
A small but mighty team!
Jeffrey and I talked a lot about Wong Kar Wai’s work when crafting the look for Wolves and we ended up incorporating the classic Hong Kong orange/green color palette in many scenes.

Shoutout to @cinepacks@cinepacks.studios for the beautifully textured location!

- Cinematography Reel 2025 - DECADE EDITION
This reel is the cumulative product of the decade I’ve spent here in Los Angeles, resulting from much blood, sweat, tears, joy, laughter, and a whole lot of caffeine.
*Cue heartfelt music*
By no means is this the only thing I have to show for my time here. I’ve met all of you, the directors, producers and crew who have become my friends, collaborators and confidants. I love you. Truly I am a person who has always found it easy to love, but who can blame me when you make it so damn easy.
It’s time to reach new heights and push boundaries, for myself and my family.
Let’s get to work.
