Getting to hang with more illuminati from America’s favorite pastime. Hoping to be able to discuss it soon.

Whoopsie.
Ever traveled to San Antonio to work in a presidential suite at a resort and the interview subject possibly has covid and bails out of the in-person interview at the last second and you wind up shooting them on a laptop in the afore-mentioned suite? This guy has.
Love Gov 3
My second time around with Emergent Order’s Love Gov series, featuring one of my favorite Austin-based actors, Jonathan Flanders. We shot season two back in 2018.
Sweet Home Chicago
Got to do some shooting at the Joliet Prison where The Blues Brothers was shot during Blues Brothers Con. Was a crazy day.
A film, on film?!?
The last time I worked on a feature that shot on actual film was back in 2009 (Five Time Champion), right as the Red One was becoming ubiquitous. We just wrapped an extraordinary project that shot in upstate New York, using an Arri 416. I was blown away at how quiet that camera was compared to my previous experience. The follow focus motor was more noticeable than the film cruising through the mag.
I’ll be able to talk more about this once they get further along in post, but it was the same folks who created Jockey and Transpecos.
Facing Nolan Update…
It’s not everyday your work is seen/heard at a major league baseball stadium, but that’s what happened with Facing Nolan last Sunday. The Ryan family and others were there for a pre-show Q&A and our brave director, Bradley Jackson, got to throw out the first pitch for the Rangers/Braves game earlier in the day. Rangers won, 7-3, by the way!
SXSW 2022 – Facing Nolan
Always fun to get to premiere something in your home town. Facing Nolan is a feature-length documentary about living legend baseball hall-of-famer Nolan Ryan. We spent over a year gathering this project’s content and it’s a good one.
Recent review here.
Sundance 2021!
Happy to report that the film Jockey, which we shot in October of 2019 in Phoenix, had a great Sundance premiere last Sunday and Sony Pictures Classics has nabbed distribution. Clifton Collins Jr. also received a Best Actor jury award. Q and A here.
Jaston Williams
I got to meet (again) and toil with one of my theatre idols, Jaston Williams (Greater Tuna). Over two days we shot his latest one-man show at the State Theatre in Austin.
Heisman House
I was on the social media crew for this year’s Nissan Heisman House campaign. Lot’s of talent present for this one.
