DP-ing a shoot featuring Saweetie for The Method, a show for MTV news.

Collaborating with the blazingly talented Maria Ahn (of The Ahn Trio) on a new music video and, additionally, a short film. Shooting in Times Square as she plays cello and Greta Campo dances with graceful exultation. Then, a few days later, on a gelid Monday morning, we meet in Greenpoint and there is running and a papier-mâché gas mask (back to my roots).

I’m helping our friend Miriam Weiskind @thezareport make a Kickstarter to open the 8th female-owned pizzeria in NYC. Her pizza is transcendental, and her story will inspire you. Watch her video/support her Kickstarter here.

Fun times, as I’m part of a camera crew shooting a private Coldplay concert live for the Howard Stern Show at the Apollo Theatre. Coruscating lights, and a little (stolen) 16mm.

It’s all about resolution size when you’re cutting a quick animation for the luxury watch company Vacheron Constantin, to be projected amid the New York skyline.

I’m in the sylvan rurals of Maine, shooting with a small doc crew for Consensus Media. Goats, breweries, and sustainable farming abound!

I’m directing/producing a series of films for the luxury watch company Vacheron Constantin.

May has me back to a revision on the DEEP FAKE script, as well as approaching completion on an elaborate music video for my music project, Unpinnable Butterflies.

The multi-month behemoth is complete, including a full flash mob orchestral scene and an elaborate cold open (with music, as well as graphics and editing, by yours truly). This was an amazing project to stress and grow as a producer, and I’m quite grateful to the good folks at TC for the opportunity. 

February begins a three-month mega-project for Columbia University’s Teachers College. I’m producing/directing/DP-ing/editing an over hour-long convocation ceremony for the college, which is not meeting in person. We’ll be making musical numbers, soup-to-nuts, composing original music, making animations and graphic packages, and including featured marquee guests like Stacey Abrams and Wynton Marsalis.
