Feature 14. Gaffer.
Day 17, 11/24/2025.
We picture wrapped right before the holiday madness. Here's a pic of the core 4 g&e team I was lucky enough to have at my side, but not everyone that we had on was fortunate to get a group photo.
@k1ng_visual and
@kylenoone1 , thanks for always being ready for anything and for always being more than a few steps ahead, especially when things went off the rails. Your insights and abilities really are what got us through every day.
@jbro6849 ,
@pablorobertoarias ,
@danny__rinaldi ,
@said_and_dunn and especially
@alex_orf_ , thank you for hopping on for the few days we had you, some at shorter notice than others. But you all hopped onto some of the most crucial and important days of the shoot, absolutely nailing it each time.
And last but not least:
@oldsoulproductions_llc , my Key Grip and the spine of the g&e department. I really couldn't have done this without you. All the extra legwork you put in, between phone calls or meetings on off days, just to make sure we were prepared, that you were keeping me honest, and offering all the extra insight to pull off the lighting plans I made, only served to push me to do even better. That you also saw what I was seeing in the moment and knew what needed to be done right then and there only made these 4 weeks all the more effortless.
@csl_cinematography . Our third feature in the can, and probably our best and most polished. Thanks for trusting me with your ideas and allowing me a certain degree of autonomy that most other DPs wouldn't be bothered to provide. And even when we bicker like an elderly married couple, it's only the work that benefits. I wouldn't have taken this on if you weren't behind the camera. My trust only goes so far, and you have it completely when we work together.
There was not one day on this project that felt like work. It was the most fun I've had on a gig in a long time and you all were responsible for it.
Should we all be so lucky.
