SXSW - RANDY AS HIMSELF
Excited to share that our World Premiere for Randy As Himself will be down in Austin this March for SXSW. Huge congrats to our fearless, creative, explorative director Margaret Miller! It is always such a pleasure and delightful artistic challenge bringing your incredibly unique and interesting worlds to life.
So much fun doing it alongside so many familiar faces from POOF. Great to be building a team that ships off these labors of love to places like Cannes and SXSW. I’d expect nothing less from such a talented group of filmmakers that I am stoked to call my friends.

Big congrats to @elistern_ , an amazing accomplishment for your first feature. Many to come!

Excited to share my first new reel in 6 years. So much has transpired during this period.
I’ve grown into myself both on and off set. I’m now a father to two wonderful girls and with that I think I have established a deeper sense of who I am both as a person and as a cinematographer. My film work has really taken root with projects screening in competition at Cannes, SXSW, Tribeca, Camerimage and beyond. I’ve now lensed multiple features, one with a theatrical release and one on Hulu along with many shorts that make me super proud.
The relationships I’ve built with directors, producers, production designers, colorists, my crews, my agent… they mean the world to me and I think these visuals represent the deepening of those friendships and collaborations more than anything.
Film is a hierarchical team art-sport and the beauty of any one image is the result of so many people coming together under such wild circumstances to capture lightning in a bottle on a daily basis, over and over again, for days, weeks or months. It is such a high and I am deeply addicted.
If we’ve worked together, thank you for your belief in me. I really try to never take for granted that my name is on that slate representing your project, it’s an honor every time.
The day has finally arrived. I am so stoked to share the trailer for CALIFORNIA KING, out in theaters and available on Apple and Amazon TODAY!
I’ve been amped on this film since first reading @elistern_ ’s script. I remember first glancing at the treatment at 6am and immediately shooting upright in bed after reading the first page. Eli’s vision was crystal clear, I could feel the aesthetic and style jumping off the page.
This was my first proper feature and I could not have asked for better collaborators in Eli, @mattleemiller and @danvkagan .
There’s a lot more to say and plenty more to thank, but I’ll try and space it out over some posts. For now just want to immensely thank my keys who made this shoot a total blast. I learned so much from you all and I’m stoked on what we made together.

Stoked to share that FIRE AT WILL will be premiering at @tribeca !
Such a blast collaborating with writer/director @morgangruer bringing this film to life. It doesn’t escape me that this is an incredibly personal film shot in her childhood home. Truly an honor to be brought into that type of creative environment and given so much trust in the process. An incredible collaborator, director and person. Congratulations!
This is my third narrative film at Tribeca, something I’d never imagine possible only a few years ago. So damn happy that my hometown fest feels so inviting and familiar.
In true indie fashion this was a small but mighty crew of people and I’m so stoked we get to have a hometown world premiere. Can’t wait to celebrate with you all!
