2025 Directors Demo Reel 🎬 Enjoy the show 🍿

I love this game @atlutd Job’s not finished. FEA.

To my Mom, I love you so much. I can’t put into words what I’m feeling right now. All I can say is thank you. Thank you for being the best mom I could’ve ever asked for. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have looked up that David Beckham freekick against Greece, which made me fall in love with soccer. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have ever gotten that mini camcorder on the back of that danimals yogurt pouches box, which got me to fall in love with film and video. If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t have fallen in love with WWE. Even tho it’s fake, we always loved watching The Rock or Roman Reigns do their thing on Monday Night Raw. Mom, you made me the man I am today. You were truly the best mom, who was always there for us when we were down, and always there for us when we needed you most. You were Preston, Brooke, and I’s biggest supporter, and you made it known. Thank you for always making me smile, and making me feel loved. I always knew I was making you proud. You didn’t deserve this. None of this. It was too soon for you to go. When you were diagnosed with Alzheimer’s, none of us expected it to be this way. I’m forever sorry for the days that Dad, Preston, and myself, didn’t understand what you were going through. I can only imagine what pain you were going through internally. None of us thought you’d be gone this soon. But I hope you’re finally at peace. We all know you’re in a better place now. I know you’re always with us, and always will be. Forever. You will never be forgotten. Thank you to everyone and your prayers over the past few days. Your support for my family has been immense and I can’t thank you all enough. Rest in Peace, Mom ❤️ Lisa Emberger 1970-2024

Holiday on film 🎞️ (2026, Colorized)

1:53:58 | Another half marathon time for your feed I’m so proud of Sydney, and so proud of us for doing this❤️

My first two rolls of film ever 🎞️ Shot on the Canon AE-1, with Portra 400 & Fuji 400 film Very very cool and very very fun, highly recommend 👍 Thank you @mitchmartinphoto & @nomadic_lens_ for the guidance!

The making of the Spirit of ‘96 Kit Launch Video 🎥 Even when you’re all buttoned up, things can still fall through the cracks and the absolute unexpected could happen. A shoot originally planned to be shot outside, here in Atlanta, scrapped by an ice storm. Giving us 2 days to pivot, and move everything to Miami. This wouldn’t have been possible without the blessing from @mike.ridley9 , and the crew at @startingeleven.us for the production help. Hope you enjoyed this little BTS of everything that went into making this video. Thanks to everyone for the support on the project 🤍

The Spirit of ‘96 - Kit Launch An honor to have directed and created this spot for Atlanta United’s secondary kit for 26/27. The effort poured into this video and campaign simply cannot be put into words. Ice storms, last minute flights, quick turnarounds, this had it all. And the end product came out better than I could’ve ever expected. This wouldn’t have been possible without such an amazing team who worked tirelessly to bring this to life. Shoutout to @startingeleven.us & @nicoerubino for all their help with producing this piece Thank you to everyone who helped bring this to life! 🤍 Exec Prod: @mattmoore16 @mike.ridley9 @maggie.sellars Prod: @startingeleven.us @nicoerubino Dir: @van.emberger DOP: @finimazza Cam Op: @lopezpov @ivashchenko.sonya @20.20productions @connor.richter 1st AC: @rashiseagrace , Ernesto Tescari Gaffer: Julian Sanz Key Grip: Orlando Gonzalez Graphics: @khouryk Editor: @van.emberger Archive Prod: @joe_freihofer_onair PA: @antonioajam Marketing Coordinator: @daniburleyson Talent Coordinator: @47thkou Studio: @droix.studio

How I created the Intro shot for my 2025 Demo Reel 🎬 I always want to add a little bit of spice to my videos, and my demo reels are no exception. I wanted to a create an intro where it looks like i’m looking back at my entire year, but I had limited space to do so So with just a camera, aputure 120d, a soft box, fog machine, and a cheap little projector, I went for it. And the results came out just as I envisioned it😁 Let me know if you guys want more BTS / Tutorials!

My 2025 Wrapped 🎞️🎥 Crazy what all can happen in just 365 days. Beyond thankful for what God has gifted me this year, and all the challenges he forced me to come face to face with. Just curious as to what’s next. Much love to all ❤️ Thankful for all of y’all’s support, even on the smallest of things

Went on Holiday with my coworker 🥸🤍
