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.
Monkey Knife Fight
It seems fitting that my last gig before production shut down featured grown people wrapped in saran wrap and inch-worming along an oil-covered tarp.
#CreatorsForChange
Had a unique opportunity to travel to Vietnam, India and Namibia, working with #CreatorsForChange, Vox and the Girls Opportunity Alliance. It stressed the importance of girls all over the globe having access to education.
Jockey
Spent an adventurous month at the Turf Paradise horse racing track in Phoenix filming an independent feature film simply titled, Jockey. Clint Bentley and Greg Kwedar, who had written, directed and produced the award-winning film Transpecos, showed what life is like behind the scenes in the horse racing world. Happy to announce it was recently selected for competition at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival!
Wiggle!
Got to work with some old friends in Crested Butte on a cute short called Wiggle. Gorgeous area, and a fun shoot.
Towel Jacket Towel
This was a rushed little one-off, but I was really impressed with Ben Schwartz’ ability to be sick as a dog and rally through an intense afternoon shoot for Dos Equis.
Proving Tires
Got to spend all day watching cars drive very fast on the Continental Tire proving course near Uvalde.
Bat Signals
Got to return to the awesome Bracken Bat Preserve for American Spring Live. Always a blast to work with Fran (the director of the preserve) and Skip Hobbe, our camera dude.
