Online Premiere of my short film ‘Memories We Hold’ with @filmshortage
After my grandmother’s passing, I returned to my family farm in New Hampshire one final time, to relive old memories and find closure before it was sold. The film draws from sixty years of photographs and home videos, and the feeling of returning to a place once your loved ones are no longer there.
Special thanks to @adammweiss for the use of his song ‘Unsung,’ originally written to honor the passing of his father. This film wouldn’t exist without it.
For anyone who’s ever had to say goodbye to a special place.

“Sweat on the dance floor and dirt shoveled down in the grave”. Life is beautiful and painful and it’s a gift to feel it as deeply as we can. This is the full music video for “Weddings & Funerals”, a song that came to me through loving and miles on the road and loss and celebration. This video is the result of an immense effort by Director Ryan Bergeron to get the right shots all over Los Angeles, including capturing some extremely rare torrential rain. We were almost killed by someone doing donuts in a Dodge Charger in the parking lot, but we persevered and got an incredible video that captures the spirit of searching and working and thinking and finding.
Collaborating with Ryan and all the musicians who worked on this track is something I feel so grateful for. There is so much talent in this world and tapping into it for the sake of making something cool is extremely righteous. Please enjoy and I hope it speaks to you.

Red Bull Crashed Ice
This was an epic shoot! Being a Sox fan it was incredible to see Fenway transformed into a Crashed Ice course. Big shoutout to @joshua.koerner and the Red Bull team back in Boston for bringing me on!
