Last spot we’re posting from this fun campaign we directed earlier this year. Again, we can’t thank the incredible crew enough. They made it possible to shoot six unique spots in only two days. The absolute best.

More directing (and writing!) work for AT&T with the always great @taryndelaniesmith and @tiffani.charisse .
We only had three hours to shoot this and the entire team really stepped up and got it done. We’ve always been averse to shooting handheld, but we kind of fell in love with it while making this piece. This is one of our favorite spots we’ve directed.

Honored to win an Emmy with the SNL team!
These people are the best. Thanks so much to everyone in the post department at the show. @mattyonks@charismatic.raquella@krispyferriso@no.l.cuts@cheezy_mak have always had our backs and made sure the pieces went off without a hitch. It’s a difficult job that you guys make look easy.
Thanks so much @dinamoles for asking us back for the 50th.
Sean and I left two years ago and thought we closed the door on the show. You guys welcomed us back.
Love you all.
We were lucky enough to redo our wedding reception with local close friends and family on May 30th. It was amazing.
We love you all! Thank you for dancing to Bruce Springsteens’ “Santa Claus is Coming to Town” with us on a sweaty summer evening.
Thanks @aaronandwhitneyphoto for the incredible photos
Just in time for draft season, here’s some new directing work! We went to Texas last month to shoot this fun spot with the great Ashton Jeanty. Worked with an awesome local Dallas crew that made this a blast. Thanks to all! Here’s our director’s cut.
