Reposting this clip from One Cent, a doc about Penny Hardaway. One of the first long-form projects I ever cut, so naturally I can watch it now and judge my past self about a few choices. But that’s part of it. Still proud of what we made, grateful for what I learned, and glad to revisit a project that meant a lot early on. EP.

In December 2021, I jumped into editing a pilot for a series I didn’t fully have my arms around yet. A lot of people had already poured a ton into it before it ever got to me. We had beautiful footage, a script, some strong ideas, and still a lot to figure out. What followed was a long road. This project took years to become what it is. A lot of people carried it forward and kept willing it into existence.. especially @bradgray99 , @evolveimg , @kiedisdk , Lindsey Leatherman and @jenlewis825 ...production worked through some truly insane circumstances to capture what you see here. The Sacred Thread is a series that journeys line-by-line through the Lord’s Prayer—revealing the cultural, historical, and spiritual depth behind the most well-known prayer in human history.

Produced by @evolvestudios and @omahaproductions “Calipari: Razor’s Edge” is a 6 part doc series for VICE TV, following John Calipari’s first year with the Arkansas Razorbacks. With six-day turnarounds from zero to fully finished 44-minute episodes, our production and post teams faced one of the toughest creative challenges we’ve taken on, yet the team delivered week after week.
