A few of my favorite frames from “The Captain” I loved shooting this film with the talented @reelasdirt in my home state of Maine.
The film is playing on the Yeti Film tour which is happening now, give it a watch if you can, it should be available online later in the year as well.
Of the 5000 commercial lobstermen only 4% are female. The Captain is a short film that celebrates that fearless 4% through the lens of Sadie Samuels @sadiethesiren
Shot on Alexa mini with @panavisionofficial C and G series
Big thanks to super talented director @reelasdirt for bringing me on, and to expert producer @hungrybear81 for making this challenging shoot happen in style.

The Boy From Medellin is now available on Amazon prime! This film was a big undertaking I’m very grateful that (super talented) director @mheineman trusted me to capture the concert and other special moments throughout our trip down to Medellin. Shot alongside the talented @drewalandaniels and @maxpreiss who handled the Verite moments beautifully.
The crew on this was outstanding! So grateful to @orlandoduguay with his beautiful, smooth and intuitive steadicam work, @joe.arcidiacono_dp , @laura.hudock and @smashwerksfilms ,talented DP’s who came down to camera operate as well and made us all look good 🙏🏻
1st AC’s @graham.deneen , @ipullfocus and @jeffreytaylor1 who kept the whole thing running smoothly and oversaw the huge logistical challenges with getting 14 Sony Venice’s, an insane amount of media and full frame glass, I can’t overstate how good these folks are, Graham I’d have been lost without you!
Our local crew was incredible, I’m sure I’m forgetting a lot of folks but our gaffer @javier1chaves and BBE @anita.garzon were outstanding, our Key Grip @elinarcogaray constantly impressed me and made it all come together while keeping everyone safe.
Our talented local camera assistants, and operators blew me away as well. @angellofaccini @davidcurto @santiagocormane @santiduran182 @civanamaya @campu_andres
Our producers Joedan Okun, Miles Estey and @jennavive88 were incredible and the support from our local producers and production co was nothing short of amazing @danielacortesf @juliflorez84 🙏🏻 all star multi talented @metawar2702 deserves a special mention as well, editing, camera operating and doing it all.
Color by the wonderful @rcocolor

On Everest every degree of temperature and every ounce of gear matters- Everest: The Other Side was a uniquely challenging project. Because the location we were filming in was so remote we had to make sure we thought through every scenario we might film and bring the necessary gear with us. We knew that once we got there we wouldn’t be able to pick up gear we’d forgotten or thought about too late. We had a pretty significant prep period where we trained physically, slept in altitude tents and tested equipment. We shot camera and exposure tests in Telluride, and put the footage through a full grade @company_3 , pushing and pulling and seeing how far we could take it, we projected the tests at IMAX to see how it held up and made our camera choices. @erichroepke even left a Canon r5c running overnight in a freezer to simulate some conditions the summit team might encounter. We then had to factor in the size and weight of everything we wanted to bring, and make sure we could accommodate getting the gear into the location either on someone’s back or on a yak. More tough decisions. Our fantastic AC @graham.ddd kept everything organized and kept and the details dialed in as we narrowed our list down.
I was recently asked what we brought up there that we ultimately didn’t end up using, and I think from a camera standpoint we ended up using everything we brought. Having such a fantastic team producing and behind the camera combined with the extensive prep and testing allowed me to feel good going into these expeditions and know that we had the gear we needed to make a film that would hold up on the big screen, and we wouldn’t be slowed down or limited by equipment.

I am beyond excited to work with producer Shannon Dill PGA and Director of Photography Clair Popkin on EVEREST: THE OTHER SIDE, an extraordinary documentary from Oscar-winning filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin.
Bound by a shared ambition, Jim Morrison and Hilaree Nelson set out to climb Everest and ski the first descent of the direct North Face, the most coveted ski line on earth. Theirs is a story of love, loss and what it takes to chase the impossible dream. From Oscar®-winning filmmakers Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, EVEREST: THE OTHER SIDE premiered at the 83rd Venice International Film Festival and the 51st Toronto International Film Festival, THE 70th BFI LONDON FILM FESTIVAL, before opening exclusively in theatres and IMAX worldwide on October 30.
EVEREST: THE OTHER SIDE is directed and produced by Elizabeth Chai Vasarhelyi and Jimmy Chin, and produced by Shannon Dill, Anna Barnes, Bob Eisenhardt, Janet Yang. The executive producers are Carolyn Bernstein, Tim Horsburgh, Nina Fialkow, David Fialkow, Andrew Reiner, Elizabeth Reiner, Moudhy Al-Rashid, Sam Frohman, Kenneth A. Howery, Jason Bowden, Will Griffith, Bettina Kadoorie. The film is edited by Bob Eisenhardt, ACE, and Simona Ferrari. And the Co-Producers are Ben Hubley, Aideen Kane, and Christina Hunt. The Line Producer is Cally Speed. The directors of photography are Clair Popkin, Jimmy Chin, Christopher Murphy.

One of my favorite aspects of making films is the collaboration, everyone bringing their voice to a project and leaving their touch on it in service of making the best film. Everyone who worked on Everest: The Other Side brought their best, and it shows in the final film. The logistics and producing involved with filming expeditions on the north face of Everest, the effort and physicality of working at high altitude for long periods, the athleticism, strength and heart of Jim, and Hilaree, the work of the Sherpas and high altitude team who supported them are all monumental achievements in their own right.
For the film team on the mountain we had to bring our “A” game every day even while struggling to catch a breath in the middle of a blizzard at 18,000’. There was no chance for a second take on any of this and I think the film is better for it. This film was the most challenging project I’ve ever been a part of, physically, mentally and emotionally and it wouldn’t have been possible without such a strong, caring, team who all brought their best. From the production office, to the expedition crew, to post production, I can’t imagine this film with a different group of people. Grateful for the love, support, and holding down the fort back home @taashaaaa88 while away on these long trips, love you!
Very proud and thankful to have been a part of this crew and excited for people to see it. Everest: The Other Side opens in theatres and IMAX on October 30th.

First frames are Kodak Portra 120 last few are 35mm.
I shot 20 rolls of film on this trip and it’s a task to narrow down my selects.
It was great to get back to basics and only shoot film- I find it makes me think more before taking a picture, and every photo has a bit more intention behind it.
