The @greenday Dookie album, was one of the first CDs I ever owned and blasted on repeat for years. It was an honor to work with @billiejoearmstrong . We rigged him up with so much heavy gear, and he never complained once, he was able to click on his performance instantly. Thank you @ryanbaxley for trusting me yet again and coming with incredibly creative ideas like inside and outside sober perspectives, and the massive $20 bill wrapped around a shop vac for the snorting scene. And thank you for @dynmc_creative + @mindpalacestudio village who orchestrated everything. Awesome BTS pics by @abaxley

Check out @the_linda_lindas new music video that I just shot for the brilliant @ryanbaxley . I’m blown away by the musical talent of The Linda Lindas, they’re only 12 - 18 years old and have a very bright future ahead. Huge thanks to my dude @adambussell for bringing me onto the team, Markus Fields for making the light shine and to @abaxley for the awesome production design and photography. Swipe to see our feature in @rollingstone .

@SXSW was a whirlwind of inspiration this week. We came, we saw a ton of films and learned about the incredible team dynamics behind them. Then we left feeling fully charged and excited for our films to come. @adambussell @videovictor @bretmiller_filmmaker @dynmc_creative @a24 @appletv @newlinecinema

Excited to judge another year of @theAICP awards and dig into one of my favorite topics, color. Big thanks to my guy @logan.jp for the nomination. 📷: @widershot #aicpawards
