Faceoff: Inside the NHL season 2 is now streaming on Prime! I’ve been working on some version of this show for the past 8 years. From AC to cam op, to unit DP and now finally series DP. The journey here has been incredible and I’m so grateful for all of it. Special thanks to @jeanclaudevandamigone for trusting me to helm the series, and to our amazing crews who worked in multiple cities across 6 months keeping the longest hours and highest standards. I’m really proud of this one. Thanks to @danlitke and @m_bockal especially for keeping our main unit humming, and for all the laughs and bts film photography. Now go watch the show so we can do it again next year.

So excited to share this ad campaign we created for @shethepeople . From the beginning, we knew we wanted to make something meaningful with a cast of real people. Our goal was to examine the influence of clothing on identity. We were blessed to work with an incredible brand that celebrates the diversity of self-expression and empowered us to aim higher than just a fashion spot. So with the blessing of the incredible @caridel___ , we created a campaign about confidence, style, and what our clothing says about us.

For the better part of last year I got to work on one of the coolest doc series to date. Game 7 is a 5 part series with a behind the scenes look at some of the most compelling games played across all sports over the last 40 years. We interviewed the players and coaches that made the difference in those games, on both sides. I found the end result to be very powerful (binged them all last night 👀). I’m really proud of this one. Thank you to Director @jeanclaudevandamigone , Producer @ryanlohuis , EPs @therealmarkmessier , and @dannydevito . Plus everyone at @wordsandpicturesprod and Left/Right. This was a really great team and a pleasure to work on. Game 7 is now streaming on Prime, check it out!

There are 4 amazing hours of television coming this month that I’m honored to have helped bring to life. Last Call is a project that has had a profound effect on me. Not only because it’s INCREDIBLE and I’m very proud of it, but also because I got to be part of an amazing team of skilled creatives who, over the course of a year also became my very close friends. Special thanks to @auntyanthony , @hgertler , and the entire @story_syndicate @hbo team for making me a part of it. Tune in tonight (and every Sunday this month) at 9pm on HBO. 🌈 ❤️

I’m late with the post, as usual, but for those who don’t know- this incredibly powerful and important film that I had the pleasure to work on is now available to stream on HBO. My biased opinion is that we were robbed of the Oscar win, but the nomination was still pretty cool. So so grateful to everyone who made my involvement possible, but especially @hgertler and @auntyanthony . Very very proud of this one.

Komodo goes full doc mode ❤️. Shooting a series with the NY Rangers this week for @espn and I’ve learned that shooting hockey with a global shutter is a real treat. This little cam continues to be very capable.

So pleased to share this new music video that I made with some of my closest friends and collaborators in the whole world. Started with a banger of a track from @ladyhawkeforyou and a creative vision of lovers battling through dance by the incredible @auntyanthony . 2 separate units of fiery queer artists battled lockdowns, time zones and 9000 miles of physical distance to make this and we’re so so proud.
