@lasseur called me earlier this year. He was making a short film where, after wrapping at an idyllic SoCal mountain town, we’d have a few days in post-production to submit for a local competition. With @chancler cutting, @drunken_swami mixing, @connorjbailey coloring, and me overseeing post/vfx’ing, we barely made the deadline.
Julien called again a few weeks ago, the short will be in #Sundance 2025. Happy we have more than a few days to get there!

I can’t wait to get back out there with @koreatownrunclub Until then, happily running in place with dish soap smeared all over my kitchen floor. 📸@steadyarchives
I captured this motion controlled time-lapse years ago while on assignment in Texas with @lasseur , overlooking the Rio Grande and into Mexico. This shot’s context and meaning to me has transformed; these lands must remain without wall. I stand with asylum seekers and those working tirelessly toward immigration.
