A Morning with Rocketman
Got to spend a fun and rainy morning inside of Roger Clemens’ workout facility, filming him doing a promo for a LIV Golf event in Houston. He still throws the heat!
iHeart Country 2024
I decided I wasn’t getting enough steps in lately, so I agreed to work with a branding video crew at the iHeart Country Music Festival at the Moody Center in Austin today. Kinetic would be a good word to describe the day.
Sing Sing Update #2
Our little film that could had its domestic premiere at SXSW. Colman managed to attend the Friday evening screening, even though it was his Oscar weekend (he was nominated for Best Actor in the “Rustin” biopic). I had to work that day but managed to make it to the after-party (which was a doozy).
Sing Sing went home with the “Festival Favorite Audience Award.”
Sing Sing Update #1
Our film Sing Sing has been selected to have it’s world premiere at TIFF 2023 in Toronto. I had never been to Canada outside of a layover at YYZ. Loved Toronto — has all the amenities of a metropolis, but it’s clean and everyone I interacted with was friendly. I even got to take in a ball game.
We had a great screening and after-party. The best part was A24 acquiring it a week later!
More Baseball Fun
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.
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.
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.
