All Eyes On You
On the eve of the first televised college basketball championship in 1973, two Jewish brothers, a rising freshman and his overlooked older brother, find their strained relationship pushed to the breaking point when the younger is forced to choose between keeping his scholarship or staying true to his heritage.
Super excited about this project. Shot on 16mm film- very unique experience.
Shoutout to my very talented scene partners @aaron.acosta5 and Eli Feingold
And big thanks to @dckaufmann for bringing me on board! Such a fun project to be apart of!

My favorite behind-the-scenes moments are always the mundane. Side conversations, watching artists think or improvise or screw up, jokes between PAs at crafty, debates over cigarettes, so on...
Examples that comes to mind include the video diary "That Moment" about the making of Magnolia, the full-length BTS featurette of The Social Network, "Dogville Confessions" which documents the contentious shooting process of Von Trier's Dogville from the actors' perspectives, and "My Life Directed By Nicolas Winding Refn" cataloguing the production of Only God Forgives through a domestic lens by Refn's wife.
Another that gets criminally overlooked is on the Blu-ray for The Lovely Bones, which documents months of day-to-day production minutiae in unprecedented chronological order.
Summer 2024:
Hometown - The energy on this set was different. I miss my boys✊
Shoutout @sean13geary and everyone involved for willing this into existence. Hometown is special.
Never made a post for this, so here we are😆

Last Puff
On the last day before their lives pull them apart, two friends wait for a backup plug in a suburban garage—what should be a routine smoke turns into an absurd, surreal journey through boredom, strange occurrences, and the challenges of adulthood.
Shoutout @adairyfool for being the mind behind this sick project.
