Great event by Friends of the Los Angeles River (FoLAR) today at the Los Angeles State Historic Park, which had this reminder on display 💯

Highly recommend the Butterfly Pavilion at the Natural History Museum until August 24th. Last went to this a long, long time ago and it’s so different — plus you can see the new Lucas Museum of Narrative Art right behind this.

Shout out to William Lu for the borrowed vintage Zeiss primes, Ian Beckman for the borrowed Accsoon Nano for wireless, and EVS for the Dana Dolly. 💯

Storyboarding this short out for the production (using the great little app Storyboarder) helped shape a variety of unique coverage, which is oh so important for short shorts. ✏️

Shot on the FWD:labs RED in 5K. This one utilized an overhead Matthews Maxi Matthpole with an articulating arm off for an Aputure MT Pro, powered by v-mount another 10ft away. The unique blue-green light is a Litepanels Gemini at 10000K + 100% green. Color all in camera. 💡

That's a wrap on another little narrative short! Such a joy to reunite with writer/actor Michael Osborne on this and DP for director Jeff Perry. Versatile assist on my team by Lena Valentine. 🎬

Good chats with RED, Panavision, Local 600, and smaller shops like Studio Carts at the J.L. Fisher Industry Mixer 2025 this morning

The number of people out here is growing each week 💯

#HandsOff protest in Los Angeles ☮️🤬💯

YouTube video by LACountyLibrary Reading Stars at LA County Library - Free Tutoring Program for Grades 1 - 6

My latest promo for LA County Library just dropped on their YouTube channel: www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCMG...

This was a treat to direct and shoot: interviewing them all (including getting the 1st graders to say more than one word) and having a copious amount of time for b-roll.

Loved #Flow. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awesome it won Best Animated Feature at the #Oscars tonight — and set a record for first indie to win in that category. 🏆

Some of my photos from last week for the National Union of Healthcare Workers, whose striking therapist members temporarily shut down Sunset Blvd. in Los Angeles in an act of civil disobedience. Kaiser has been dragging their feet for months as the behavioral healthcare workers strike continues.

Haven’t seen the musical yet but tonight’s the night. Thanks @quartersmarie.bsky.social!

🥾 today to Captain’s Roost, Los Angeles

Newfound appreciation for all the drone ops I’ve hired over the years. Next stop, Part 107.

Catching this one again on the big screen today. Such an inspirational film when first starting my film career.

Time for some ax throwing 🪓

Same issue with one of mine. Keeping the charger in all the time has given it a few extra years of life, just no longer portable without the cord and giant brick in the wall.

Back at American Cinematheque’s Aero Theatre again for their screening of El Conde plus cinematographer Ed Lachman Q&A 🎬

Saltburn screening plus Q&A with DP Linus Sandgren, ASC, FSF

Imagine the critical battle between Darth Maul and Ahsoka Tano with Gentle Giant, Ltd.'s 1:6 scale Milestones Statues inspired by the characters' STAR WARS: ... STAR WARS: THE CLONE WARS™ - Darth Maul vs Ahsoka Tano Milestones Statues

Released on December 1 on Gentle Giant’s socials including youtu.be/Xjp9yFnZg-A?...

An upcoming promotional video of mine for Gentle Giant Ltd. that was just officially approved by Lucasfilm – a first for me. Here's a look at an initial setup before lighting it up for real. This RED Gemini shoot just used a Laowa 24mm Macro Probe lens. I'll drop a post once the final spot goes up.

New 💡 for the kit

Proud to be supporting Cinema Day today. 🍿 Just grabbed a ticket to re-watch Oldboy (2003), which is back in theaters with a remastered / restored update for its 20th anniversary.
