6.17-27.25 - House of Payne S13 / Assisted Living S7
Bout time I finally posted about this internship (had to wait until things released anyway). At the beginning of my internship at Tyler Perry Studios, I had the privilege to be on set for 2 of their sitcoms. Thanks to the open arms of everyone there I got to learn so much from very impressive people. It’s actually shocking how much I was able to learn in one day let alone 2 weeks. It was so amazing getting to witness the community, efficiency, and professionalism that production had to offer and it definitely affirmed that on set is where I’m meant to be. Special thanks to Neta, George, Kristian, German, Justin, Chad, Marc, Jaylen, Drew, Warren, Chris, Tez, Oren, and Anthony for truly taking me in and pouring your knowledge into “the new generation”. I appreciate you all so greatly and your guidance and kindness mean(t) so much to me.

Excited to finally announce that out of 1800 applicants I will be apart of the 3rd cohort of the Tyler Perry Studios Dreamers Internship Program this summer! So grateful and excited for this opportunity, it still blows my mind that this is actually real. I can’t wait!

This was my final project for digital communications. We used this class to start building our own personal brands including a logo, which you can see at the end, and a website, which I linked in my bio. I loved and valued this class so much!
9.20.25 - “Piece of Skit”
My first set as a dolly grip and I gotta tell you it felt good. Getting to work on a comedy is a rare thing in film school so I’m so happy Hunter reached out to ask me on the project. I had a great time working with some of my favorite people Jake and RC and I’m so excited to see the final product!

5.5-9.25 - “Lodged Ep. 2: Sqiimo”
Now that we’re about to shoot episode 3 this Friday, I’m finally getting around to posting episode 2. This episode I got bumped up from camera wrangler to camera operator. It was so much fun to be a part of this show again and getting to take on the challenge of filming a remote control robot that died very quickly. I miss this cast so much as they’re off doing bigger and better things but we have a good show cooking up right now that I’m just as proud of. See you in about 9 months when I get around to posting episode 3 I guess?
Plenty of people shown but didn’t fit into the 20 tag limit; here’s some:

On a beach in Hawaii
My family and I went to Kauai over winter break. Made a little video essay for Environmental Filmmaking with some of the footage I shot. This trip was so amazing and very healing. I want to go back. Photos to come.
I do not own the rights to this music.

Thank you @melboxshots for coming out and showing us your work at @scadfilm and @tylerperrystudios - it’s always an honor to see what our alumni are up to in their creative fields!
5.3-4.25 - “Echoes Through Ashes”
Had a great time as the DP on this Directing the Narrative project written by my friend Breanna Greer-Guillaume and directed by my friend Rileigh Gossett. I loved the story and was so excited to be trusted to help bring it to life. This is definitely one of my proudest projects I’ve shot so far and am looking forward to sharing some stills from it soon!

4.13.25 - “The Show Must Go On”
I had the wonderful opportunity to shoot a pro-shot of a stage musical back in the spring and let me tell you I was so ecstatic! The wonderful Riss Smith wrote an amazing murder mystery musical within a musical and it was such a blast. Filming pro-shots are on my list of things I want to do professionally so it was nice to get my first crack at it being a one man team. Stills are soon to come!

4.26-27.25 - “Theo’s Great Escape”
We had to beat the intense Savannah sun for this one but couldn’t have done it with a better group of people. If it wasn’t for the good spirits of the whole cast and crew I don’t know how we would’ve gotten this done. James thank you so much for trusting me to DP this very funny project, I hope we work together again soon!

4.4-6.25 - “Bittersweet”
Got to team up with one of my good friends, Breanna Greer-Guillaume, creating a great director-DP duo. This was her passion project and I’m so glad I got to be a part of it. I’m so lucky to have such a talented writer, director, 1st AD, editor, storyteller of a friend. The rest of the crew was such a blast to work with and I definitely made friends and future work partners because of it. This was the first project I DP-ed where I walked away genuinely proud of myself. Looking forward to all the projects we do in the future!

3.24-29.25 - “In Our 20s”
Took a little break from posting as I’ve been busy being on more sets but I’m back (very late) this Tuesday to post about this wonderful thesis film I was honored to be a part of. Abby Mondello gracefully trusted me in cam opping her thesis film and I had a BLAST. I believe it’s an important queer story that needs to be more represented in a sitcom format. It was fun to have a story I could relate to be so normalized in that aspect. I’m so excited to be able to see the final cut this fall!
