Happy to be working on a gig today, even if it’s a weekend day. (My wife is a saint for full parent duty)
In the meantime, some old set photos! (Can’t share today’s, NDA strikes again!)

Took my son to a Dog Man pop up event and he is now a fan. Guess I know what I’m doing next weekend!
Ps, he also found R2D2 and C3PO’s hand prints at Guam’s.

Some good news, over the weekend a feature film I shot, "Somewhere in Montana" opened in theatres.
My grandparents finally got to see a movie I shot in a theatre and it warmed my heart throughout these horrific fires. Look at how excited my grandma is!
