I am very excited and super proud to share this new piece of work for Gran Coramino Tequila, starring the comedy legend that is Kevin Hart. This one was special for a number of reasons, not least that the two films in this campaign were my 199th and 200th commercials as Director. Crew and cast were all incredible and a ridiculous amount of hard work went into this one. A massive thank you to you all.

An awesome crew, a super cinematic brief, on location at home in LA and a box of anamorphic glass… a damn fine week at work.

Another year, another March Madness and another round of fun and games with Shaq and our pals at The Home Depot. This year, we left the comfort of our Tool Shaq basketball arena in Atlanta and braved the great outdoors in Miami to bring you… Tips from the Shaq Yard! Here’s just a sample of the nine films we produced for the campaign. @synergyfilms @jmacdp @helleehell @devaughn @mcmac13 @shaq

Very fun campaign for our pals at PetSmart. Don’t you dare cheat on us! @steelhead.tv

Whose Saturdays are feeling empty without college football? Last summer saw us back in Atlanta for another batch of Home Depot College Game Day fun with Coach Saban. Atlanta starting to feel like a second home and this lot feel like family: @synergyfilms @jmacdp @devaughn @mcmac13 @helleehell @tradeschool_

It’s just not March Madness without a lil Tool Shaq in the mix! C/o the Atlanta royal family - @synergyfilms @jmacdp @helleehell @devaughn @mcmac13 @team.sisson @shaq BTS 📷 @bradleycrosby Thanks @thedirectorsnetwork

Back to Chicago with @8thstreetprod and @jlvella for a very fun moccumentary campaign about the Cameron’s Coffee CBO (Chief Bean Officer)…
