Boston Badassness!

So I've spent the last week or so on location in Boston directing a campaign for Arnold (a big time ad agency my friend) and one of their biggest clients. It was my first time in Boston and I had a blast there. I had a great opportunity to work with one of the biggest and most well respected agencies in the world as well as check the sites and sounds of a historically rich city. All I can say is that other than the intense (read: FUCKING INTENSE) cold (i.e. snow, wind, rain, sleet, etc), I really enjoyed my time spent there. 

I got to check out Element finally, which is the production company I am signed to for commercial directing, as well as meet and hang with some of their very cool staff. 

Quick shout to Ben and Emi over at Arnold for the awesome work; Brian, Persis and all the folks over at Element for everything; my DP, Florian for being, well badass, and all those who supported me throughout the project (thanks Amanda for being the FIRST hand model on the project!). It was big for me so I am excited to keep working and pushing in my career. It was a successful shoot, as I think everyone was happy and pleased with the work we did. 5 spots = 1 day. Sick! I'll be posting all the spots once they are cleared for air. 

Check out below for some photos of the trip.

Work News :: Booked 5 Commercial Campaign!

Great news. I just locked a commercial campaign with a huge brand thru Element Productions (because of Non-disclosure Agreement, I can't say who... but its awesome). I will likely be flying out to Boston in mid-December for a week to direct the spots. Yea!!! Thanks Brian. You the man! The spots will of course be posted on my work site once they are cleared for air. Thanks everyone for their continued support and a special thanks to my very helpful hand model as well....

JAMES BOND!!


So I know I'm supposed to be some film guy and only talk about Citizen Kane and Wong Kar Wai films and while I do enjoy a good indy movie, or heart-warming underdog, coming of age post war story of lost love... I also enjoy a badass popcorn flick.

I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE THE NEW JAMES BOND MOVIE! Damn it looks hot. It's full of gadgets, action, fights, and sexy time with ladies, lol. Check the trailer 007

The Original Badass is back, and looks good in a hat!


For those of you who may not know, legendary screen actor Sean Connery retired from acting a few years back, vowing to enjoy the rest of his life traveling, eating, and spending his billions of dollars on things I'm sure most of us didn't even know existed. 
Well, I guess retiring from movies didn't include posing for a Louis Vuitton ad and looking like an absolute badass!! Seriously, the man was in the original 007 movies, he has got to be pushing 500 years old or something. I got to say though, he looks great for his age. Doesn't hurt that he has got a nice looking fedora on his head. Kudos LV.
