With the fall season approaching I figure what better time to make long overdue post about the film I directed last year, A Grave Situation.

I mainly want to thank and acknowledge the entire cast and crew for all they did to bring this thing to life despite all the odds. It also wouldn't have been possible without the support of our donors and the mentorship I received from @kraemerfilms. It was an experience I'm sure to never forget.

To those who have already seen it, I appreciate your time and support. Thanks for looking.

Not my typical kind of post but I finally finished a roll of film that I started all the way back in 2022. It’s a smattering of stills taken from family trips on hot days. I’m happy to be able to share them and to maybe get to do this more in the future. Hope you enjoy. As always, thanks for looking.

💡Latest gaffing work:

Back in April I had the pleasure to work on “Rounder”, a short film written and directed by the exceedingly talented @ayden_kelly_ and I’m super happy with the look we achieved. This is easily some of my favorite work to date so I’m stoked to be sharing it here. Endless thanks to @mcclintockdistilling for hosting us.

I owe so much to my G&E team for having my back. It was just an absolute joy to share those long nights with everyone.

Thanks for looking. Until next time.

Got a couple stills to share from a recently self imposed challenge that was devised by @sid_g007

The goal was to only use a single light source but it couldn’t be a film light. So I decided to do the classic “staring at self in mirror and splashing water on face” scene. All it took were the 4 light bulbs above my bathroom sink, a white bed sheet and a few pieces of black fabric.

Everything was shot on my canon eos rebel t8i with a canon ef 50mm f/1.8 lens which can apparently yield some good results under the right circumstances. Anyways, this was a fun little exercise and if we do any more of these in the future you might see em.

Thanks for looking.

I know this is late but I still wanted to share some of my favorite work as a gaffer from last year. 2025 was a big year for both my personal and professional growth. I ended the year with new confidence and pride because I could see all the progress I’ve made.

I owe it all to the support of each of my wonderfully talented friends and collaborators who gave me these opportunities to do what I love to do. A big thanks to anyone who gave me the chance to work along side them on their projects in any shape or form and for all you’ve taught me along the way. A special thanks to @robsilvervisuals and @sid_g007for me their continued support.

There’s still so much to learn but thats the fun of it, right? I can’t wait to work with more DPs and gaffers in 2026. Let’s make stuff.

Until next time. Thanks for reading.

I know this is late but I still wanted to share some of my favorite work as a gaffer from last year. 2025 was a big year for both my personal and professional growth. I ended the year with new confidence and pride because I could see all the progress I’ve made.

I owe it all to the support of each of my wonderfully talented friends and collaborators who gave me these opportunities to do what I love to do. A big thanks to anyone who gave me the chance to work along side them on their projects in any shape or form and for all you’ve taught me along the way. A special thanks to @robsilvervisuals and @sid_g007for me their continued support.

There’s still so much to learn but thats the fun of it, right? I can’t wait to work with more DPs and gaffers in 2026. Let’s make stuff.

Until next time. Thanks for reading.

Wrapping cables has never looked so glorious

Captured by the legendary @waltvswalt

Had some fun today doing some shot re-creations in the apartment. Gotta get the reps in when you can 💪

We are both really happy with how the first one came out in regard to the reference shot. The trickiest thing about it was getting just the right amount of blue on the talent’s neck and shoulders which Adam accomplished with an Aputure MC (after I overcomplicated it with a panel and gels).

Note from Rob: I wish we had done more to go for the yellow-hue that is in the reference shot. Part of it may be due to the different colors of the blanket. But that is my only qualm. It is still a beautiful shot whether or not it’s one-to-one.

It was also really interesting to try to re-create the facial shadows in the black-and-white shot. I feel like we got it 90% of the way there. The last 10% will have to wait another 40 years so my skin can get the right wrinkles to cast the right shadows.

How’d we do? Let us know in the comments as well as any feedback for improvement 🙏

This one is for the camera nerds out there. It’s also a long one. Before I say anything else, I want to make it clear that we are saying “neg” for “negative fill.”

We came up with some dope stuff. The unbleached muslin feels like a cheat code. I think our favorite was the 600 +16in Softbox through Unbleached Muslin, but we are still figuring out the best way to go about diffusing and getting soft light with what we have, so definitely drop some tips or things for us to try in round two (also, make sure to check out the video on YouTube to avoid instagram’s compression - not that YouTube’s is any better).

Hey everyone! I'd like to formally announce the short film that I've been working on: A Grave Situation. It's a horror comedy about a pair of at-odds redneck graverobbers whose relationship is put to the test when the corpse they dig up rises from the dead. It will be my last project as a student at Towson University and the first where I try directing something of this scale. I'm super happy to be on this journey with my amazing team and can't wait to bring the story to life.

I'm also announcing that I'm launching a fundraiser to hopefully help cover the cost of all the various expenses that go along with the filmmaking process. You can find the link to donate and to read more about the film in my bio. Thanks for your time and consideration. Feel free to reach out with any questions and keep an eye out for more updates.

Also featured is concept art drawn by the super talented @f_hansson2024 (more on the way)
