CBS 13 News in Sacramento interviewed me to discuss my next film project and Grants in Sacramento, with Film Commissioner Jennifer West! Awesome to have such a supportive Commissioner and community.

An interview piece I directed about the influence that our phones have over us and accepting discomfort. I always try to think of at least one creative frame during interviews if time permits to leave my mark on projects. ✍🏽

What was interesting about this piece was after lighting in the shade and feeling that it looked too fabricated, I decided to move the set to utilize the ambience of the sun as our key light. Sometimes you just got to keep it simple. 🎥

I had the opportunity to Direct a piece on our talent who had to use his non-dominant hand for a week. Since the theme of the project was a focus on stillness and living in the moment, I decided to film outside in a field on this nonoperational vintage tractor and integrate the scenery as a character. Symbolizing the loss of control and going along for the ride.

Thank you to the team, the client, and the talent for working with us through the quick turn-around! 🙌🏽
