Director @kylehausmannstokes , a Bronze Star paratrooper in the army, not only transformed a short film into a feature but also had to negotiate with Fred Specktor, CAA mega agent, to have Morgan Freeman appear in his @sxsw winning autobiographical film, “My Dead Friend Zoe.” Kyle’s direction was straightforward: respect the subject matter, prioritize the story, ensure humor, and shoot on anamorphic. We studied 90s anamorphic comedies noticed that the clean singles appeared more connected when shot on the 2.40 frames for comedy. Most of the film was shot using 50 and 65mm lenses.

DPs and Producers please bookmark and consider the amazing crew on Lone wolf In ABQ New Mexico. They’re wonderful collaborators and worked to bring @markpellington vision to life. I could only be so lucky to work with them again.

This Body is a Shell For decades I used to hate my disabled body. I would avoid mirrors. As as child, if there was a mirror in my room, I would turn it away so I did not have to see my body. This poem is a visual exploration of the war within and what is waiting on the other side.

My grandfather MASATO SAKATNI served in the US army during WWII and was given honorable discharge due to his brother also serving in the Japanese army and the hostile racism towards Japanese Americans at the time. After he returned home Executive Order 9066 in 1942 forced him to Leave Los Angeles, where he was born, and move to Heart Mountain WY until he was released in 1945. He never expressed animosity regarding the situation from what I remember and I believe considered it doing his part. I wish I got to have more conversation with him about this history and hear his story but I wasn’t mature enough to realize how special he was. I live on his couch for a year after moving to LA to pressure a career in Film.

@Alexprice and @steventaylor collaborated with @miramax to make film interpretation of a complex digital identity security concept. Designed in @unrealengine , the project took many months. It was a fun process to discover a new way to create. The learning curve is steep but many of the concepts we use on set translate well while lighting in Unreal. @Bryansmaller colored the files by converting the linear log to a log-c space then mixed various LUTs to find something that was working. We also added grain then de noised and again re added grain to help take the digital edge off. If any of my friends are interesting in our workflow hit me up. I feel like we’re going to see a lot more of this process as the roll of DP evolves. #keepers Producer Francesca DeLutis Camera @bradavision @rarebreedswest Ronin @bennettcerf Gaffer @van106lightingandgrip Key Grip @misfitgrip

@sonycine asked me to create a RIALTO 2 launch video so @cowboycameraman and I decided to shoot an ambitious rodeo short featuring the different uses of the Rialto with the various new features. Many people came out to support this idea in multiple ways and I am extremely humbled and thankful to have such a supportive network of collaborators.
