It was a lot of fun building out the visual language for this film. We shot a mix of interviews, vérité, reenactments, and miniatures. We decided to go with anamorphic to give the film a wider scope and more cinematic feel.

To create the look for the reenactments, we used a special filtration mix along with vaseline on a clear filter and broken glass shards in front of the lens. This helped create texture and falloff on the edges of the frame and gave us a look we loved for the flashbacks.

99% of people are scared of new tech, even when it can change their lives. This debate on the Today Show in 1983 was about whether computers were going to work.

#TLOU ep5 BTS pt1: Our biggest set-piece required a huge cul-de-sac with 16 houses, fully controllable at night and with privacy to shoot, so we built it: 1) Back-lot site 2) Road and foundations beginning to take shape 3) On-site with scale model 4) Final build with stand-ins

In 2021 I wrote a 6 minute sci-fi short as a proof of concept for director @KarlStelter. We’re finishing up post now. Beyond stoked with this trailer. If you have a minute, give it a watch 🙂 vimeo.com/794262626

Such a fun shoot!! Loved producing this for Chris Russell with an insanely talented team, and can’t wait to see it come alive in the coming months 🎉 @paulmajor @joesimon
I couldn’t wait to share a few “official” BTS and frame grabs from my most recent film “Lord”. It’s simply beautiful. That’s all I can really say other than it was such a pleasure working with this cast and crew who gave their 100% every day on set. Without further ado…
