I have done a few films with Sean and Cass. For me, the kind of films that they make are the kind of films that need to be made. Not because of money or fame or shock value. The films they make are social currency. They allow people to understand what is possible in this […]

On the road with Dave Chappelle…
So it’s June 2018…Delmar calls me up and says that Dave wants the crew to go back out on the road. “Dave was asking about you man. You ready to go back out on the road?” Of course my answer was YES. Although being on the road is a bit of an endurance test and […]

ADR and Re-recording are perfectly legitimate to get the proper dialog takes for your films. Most of […]
Vegan fashion documentary – Vaute Couture
Vaute Couture: 2017 I have to say right out that this production renewed my faith in production life…a little bit. I’ve been on the road most of this year and although I love the travelers lifestyle, it can be rough at times. You don’t get to sleep in your own bed. You don’t get to […]
Sold my Canon 5dmk3 and bought a Fujifilm X100f
I just haven’t been taking as many pictures lately. I am pretty sure it’s because my Canon camera’s are big and clunky and the lenses are huge. They are heavy. I like the photos from my canons but they just aren’t fun to shoot. So for the love of photography, I sold out of my […]

I live in Los Angeles and I can tell you with absolute certainty that Mexico City traffic is much […]
