a trailer for a series about traveling and meeting strangers i dreamt up but never ended up making. would still love to revisit this some day with my boy @keenaphoto 🌍🏃🏼 music by @efterklang

Stoked to share this short doc I shot and directed alongside the amazing creative team at @fairfolkgram for @athleticbrewing. I worked to understand what makes chef and former pro cyclist @chefchriscosentino tick. He's a badass dude who creates incredible food and kills it on the bike. It was great getting to spend a day with him following him from sunrise to sunset getting a small glimpse into his life and understanding the inspiration behind his collab beer with Athletic Brewing Company.

I love working with companies and organizations to peel back the layers to better understand what makes them who they are. I was honored to work with the team at @fidelityinvestments to create a short film series highlighting some of their amazing advisors' stories. Projects like these are not only a way for me to work alongside great people to create insightful work, but also to learn about an industry directly from the people who make it what it is. Thanks to the amazing advisors Frank Maltais, @legendare_a and @robbins_iii - for sharing your story and your knowledge with me, thanks to the whole team at Fidelity for trusting me to bring this series to life, and to my late friend Eric D'Amario (and our amazing crew) for his ability to bring this project to life with me.

These are the kinds of projects I can't get enough of: impactful stories, a wonderful creative idea, and great people behind the wheel. I'm honored to share this project I shot, (co)directed, and edited alongside the amazing creative team at @colossuscreativeco for the powerful people at @neccforautism - narrated by one of my heroes Jon Stewart. The brilliant team at Colossus brought me on board to help execute their vision for this wonderful project, creating a story of a little known place that has had an enormous impact across the globe for autism education and research. Every chance I've had to work with these creative cuties has been an honor, and I could not be more excited about how this one came out. It was a huge labor of love, and I could not be more grateful for the opportunity to work with the team at Colossus and the wonderful children, families, and staff at NECC.

I'm excited to share the PSA film I created for a cause that's near and dear to my heart: @CycleKids ❤️🚴🏼‍♂️🚴🏼‍♀️🎉

CycleKids is an incredible organization helping kids get on bikes and promoting healthy lifestyles by bringing cycling education into under-resourced communities across the US, impacting more than 10k children every year! I'm in awe of the amazing work Julie and her team have been doing for the past 20 years, bringing the power of cycling to children all across the country.

This is a tough one. Really tough... @edamario wasn't just a colleague who I trusted with my life, over the many years of us working together he also became a good friend and creative collaborator. We shared so many memories on the road, created beautiful films with incredible teams, and ate lots of really good food together. He was a wild man who treated the people he worked with with respect, put fairness and creativity above all else, and always worked to do his best for those he worked alongside. I already miss you Eric, thanks for all the memories and for reminding me this industry still has good people in it. Rest in peace, my friend. ❤️‍🩹
