A sneak peek into our most recent short film ‘You Will Enjoy This Film’. The doco follows the most widely read author you’ve never heard of… the author of fortunes in fortune cookies. For now, we’ve had a couple of awesome private screenings whilst the film hopefully gets pick up by some film festivals. Can’t wait to share it with you all!

They say NYC is all about the hustle. For me, hustle is about creating community and friendships. I’d been wanting to mess around with CGI for a while — and when the @musicbed spec comp popped up, it was the perfect chance to show what we can do as creatives and filmmakers. But why stop at a spec ad, when one of my great mates @declanbasile runs the best sock company in the game — @sweetfeet.nyc Me, @emmakasarsky , and @mattyower decided to shoot two ads:     •    One for the comp (had to be a fake brand: Sprint Union),     •    And one for Sweetfeet. We created a similar logo to Sweetfeet, shot two takes with our sock props, and swapped the sock logos in post with CGI, and I reckon we pulled it off! We landed a top 5 finalist spot in the comp and now get to drop this banger ad for Sweetfeet. At the end of the day, it’s been a rollercoaster ride since moving to NYC, so it’s exciting to share something that has everything I love about it - amazing community and friendships. Proud of what we made and who we made it with. Big thanks to the stellar cast and crew!

COPPER KETTLE NZ Copper Kettle | Pepsi Co. NZ Directed by @denis_scholsem Camera Assistant : @leopoletronnier Color & Online: @clembcolorist Equipment Support: @thefront118 It’s not always the big jobs that are the best. Just Dennis, Leo & myself shooting 2 little Doco style stories over two weeks in my homeland of NZ. A collection of frames that I enjoyed most from Jason’s story. One of my favorite aspects about my job is frequently finding solutions for fresh challenges, sometimes there’s more creativity found there than what’s in the frame! I didn’t want to compromise on the quality of what we were setting out to shoot, just because it was “run & gun” by nature. I looked into all sorts of expensive backpack rigs and settled on designing my own with the help of Sonny from @thefront118 I had power plates and transmitters mounted to the back of a military plate carrier. Up front I had the Alexa mini viewfinder mounted on a cinelock.. a MagSafe adapter to hold my phone open and unlocked on the ARRI companion app… a dovetail in the centre to quickly mount the camera to my chest for a little rest..and a cheeky quick release plate for my Fuji stills camera. Call it overkill, call it whatever you want, but it worked incredibly well, and I had so much fun engineering to solve the problem of a potentially heavy camera package to be out and about with day after day.
