Is it better to block every moment or improvise? For this @shopandson in-house collection shoot, @tommishra balanced both. He provided solid direction as anchors for myself and the actors @catherinewarrian and @dylanblanco , while giving us the creative freedom to explore in the moment. It was a blast!! This one was shot with superspeeds on the @arri Alexa 35 in S16 mode. Thanks @camera_dj for the glass!

‘TEMPORARY DREAD’ trailer is finally here ! . this film is everything to me. it’s also maybe the craziest short doc ever made . in the most fun and absurd way possible, it’s about giving people who lack it the encouragement to pursue their curiosities and idiosyncrasies to whatever extent they can muster, and not only for themselves, but for the greater beauty of humanity. this is what art does for me. to quote the film, “it speaks to me in a language beyond words and connects with me, and says you’re one of us, we understand you, this is possible.” . PLS PLS spread this thing to anyone who’s ever even thought about living a creative life or being an artist of any kind . the full (15min) film is out to festivals so we can’t share it publicly, but if you or someone you know wants to check it out lmk . a thousand thank yous to the incredible filmmaker @samaricowan for reaching out and putting this thing into motion, to @evanmrogers for untold hours helping us pull this thing together, @phillip4x for covering all our blind spots on this shoot with sound and focus, @connoraugust for mixing the sound, @jamierelis for helping to make it happen, @benantelis & @jakeantelis for the original song in the film & @testritevisual for the incredible space . we had no real plan going in, but in two days of filming I think we got something truly special . thank you for being here and for all your love and support
