One of the best decisions I’ve ever made was attending @ncatsuaggies. I remember having to convince my mom (An Eagle) to let me go lol. The beautiful memories made and the beautiful people I made them with at 1601 E Market St. helped shape who I am today. Happy Homecoming Aggies! #GHOE #GHOE100

When I was a student at @ncatsuaggies, @revjjackson tapped me on my shoulder as I filmed the Homecoming football game and asked if I was interested in documenting his time back home in Aggieland. Spending an entire weekend with such a legendary figure was as surreal and inspiring as one could imagine. His schedule was relentless and his passion for THE PEOPLE was undeniable. The man just didn’t stop moving and working. I think about this weekend from time to time. He and I never kept in touch, and the 8+ hours of footage I captured that weekend was stolen. What remains is all that needs to remain: an unforgettable experience with an activist whose mark on our world is incalculable. RIP.

As Ohio State closes out the regular season, storyteller Clarence Kaiser and his fellow founders of the Midwest Youth Classic remind us that football is more than a game—it’s a lifeline. THE NAPKIN PLAYBOOK, now on YouTube, reveals how one coach turned his love of football into life-changing impact. When you love something, you find ways to do more.

@mcdonalds + @breakwaterstudios:
THE NAPKIN PLAYBOOK
• crew portraits •
• Akron, Ohio, 2025 •
• short doc •
• dir. @directedbykevin •
• Sharing my crew portraits of this awesome crew. These were captured in early 2025 during the first leg of this doc shoot. Fun times. Spotlighting important stories (sparked by the genius of @bgproudfoot). Enduring cold Ohio with the most joyous group of people. Thanks @directedbykevin for trusting me, you are a pure storyteller, @earne100 for taking care of all of us, and @nico_de_gallo1 for keeping me sharp. Shoutout to Mr. Clarence Kaiser for sharing his story, and to the entire rest of the team who completed the film over the rest of the year and made something we are all proud of. •

College football season is in full swing! In Akron, football isn’t just a game—it’s a community built on coaches mentoring young athletes. Storyteller and lifelong coach Clarence Kaiser was surely cheering for the Ohio State win yesterday. In the meantime, you can get inspired by watching THE NAPKIN PLAYBOOK, now live on YouTube. #collegefootball #ohiostate

10 years ago we all started film school together. 10 YEARS?! So grateful for the family I’ve made at NYU. We’re still family today. @sontenish @bakerolu @t.u.k.e.i.z.m @linqueayoung
