Things Will Be Different is out!

In theatres and VOD everywhere, as of this weekend.

I've gabbed plenty about this one and the fantastic folk involved, so I'll leave it at that. It'd mean the world if you watched it.

Way to go Felker!

Find it via Magnet Releasing, Things Will Be Different.

'Things Will Be Different', a feature film I gaffed last year, will be premiering this March at @sxsw .

I am stupendously grateful to director Michael Felker for being the quintessential diner buddy; DoP Carissa Dorson for boundless, positive, and swift leadership; Key Grip Connor Hawkins for the endless trucker tunes accompanying our fierce 2-person G&E ride-or-die adventure; and everyone on the production who trusted this scruffy gaffer on their set.

This show was full of family, friends, and the kinds of support you dream of having on a film.

Congratulations to everyone on this achievement! Be it their first of many, or another in a storied career.

'Jedo Is Dead' a short film I gaffed last year, will be premiering this March at @sxsw .

'Jedo is Dead' was the inaugural production of the Interlochen Cinema Collective. By gathering alumni, faculty, students, and visiting professional filmmakers, the Interlochen Cinema Collective tackled the ambitious goal of creating a learning environment for its students and finishing a completely realized, professional project.

Getting to know the past and present students of @interlochenarts was an honor. Be it while watching director @knee_mee 's fervent curiosity at work; or DoP @shanebagwelldp 's playful relaxation in the recreation of rainbows, the joy of creating was always present on set.

Thanks to everyone for having me along. A special thank you @lowinglight for introducing me to the project. I'd be a much lesser artist without your continued, professional guidance. And thank you, @bradpowers.kg , for the laser. It has been cherished, responsibly.

The amount of trust it took to be brought on such a tender set really humbles me. Hope to see you all down there, and celebrate a fantastic
accomplishment together.

Films scans from over the years. @kodak Tri X.

Thank you to @p___v________ for developing some of the incoming rolls and finding other folk for developing the rest. My brain has been digital for so many years that these rolls were literally collecting dust. Learning to love the grain again.

All this from some time before the turn of the decade.
