It takes a village to bring a vision to life. I dedicated this year to shooting more narratives, and the stories I’ve had the opportunity to craft have been so fruitful.
Also a new fan of the @zeisscinematography Radiance Supreme Zooms! You shouldn’t have to sacrifice character in a zoom look. Achieved shooting 18 pages/day on these! ❤️🔥

Too many favorite frames to count. Loved going on this wild ride of a film @seaweedsnacksfilm, special screening at @slamdancegroup this month! Let’s bring back laughing at the theaters again?
