This project was a full-circle dream.
I got to team back up with some old friends and the same crew I made rough DIY music videos with over a decade ago. We had no clue what we were doing back then, just winging it and having fun. And now, somehow, we’re back doing it for real. Also would like to mention, this shoot would have never happened without @john.note and his wild life journey🙏
Even better? I got to work with those whose music has soundtracked my life: @anthonygreen666 & @goodoldkeith
I don’t usually fan out… but come on. They are both legends!

Working on this feature film has been a real journey. Getting the opportunity to visually represent a fictional World War II story that has a slight comedic spin was both challenging and rewarding in ways I didn’t expect! It was a privilege to explore something this unique, and I’m grateful to have been part of it. Also was an interesting challenge not having a 1st AC for all 20 days🙃— “WWII: Operation Phoenix” for rent or buy on most streaming services – check it out and enjoy!

Such a fun weekend celebrating two friends getting married with my beautiful wife. Feeling really grateful lately for all the chaos, adventures, and little moments we get to share together, and for her putting up with the wildness I brought into her life ❤️🥰
Would like to give one more thank you to the entire cast and crew for making this such a wonderful experience, could not have done it without you all! Thank you Doug for writing such a beautiful story for us to play in :)
On the final days of shooting my 5th feature film and feeling really grateful and excited. Sometimes it’s hard to believe I get to do this for a living. I would not want to do anything else:)
I can’t thank the people I’ve had the pleasure of working with on this film enough and I can’t wait to show you all what we created.
Not done yet though, one more shoot day at a campground!
Getting artsy fartsy out in Costa Rica with @bookishbrittni ♥️ loving this Ricoh GRiiix - images straight out of camera, colors on this thing are insane.
