Helping Local 80 again. Good times!

Taught some Local 80 Grips and Hollywood CPR students basic lighting and then had them try to recreate some frames from “Tár.” Not bad for their first time! Donnie and Nina were too kind and sat in for the students.

It’s the same with filmmaking.

This is amazing.

Aw, shit. I better clip up today.

I passed out at one point while holding two mags and trying to get from the tent to the two different camera positions. Like, stopped in mid stride and sank to my knees passed out. Medic came by and gave me smelling salts and suggested I get some water. Good times.

Thought I posted this yesterday:

≈’99/2000 and I was loading for two cameras on an underbudgeted behemoth of a Kid Rock music video. High speed all day and the mags we were using had razor sharp gears as they were brand new. Sliced both my thumbs loading as fast as I could go.

Doing a freebie for the brethren at Local 80. Stoked to be of service and I get to prep two cameras! Thank you @keslowcamera.bsky.social !

Had the pleasure of creating a spot for Hollywood CPR (nonprofit that helps marginalized communities get into Hollywood labor) with my friend Hubert Neal Jr. and the fam over at Local 80. It’s going to be amazing!

I made a thing. Please come check it out if you can. Doors at 7pm.

That’s quite the combo. I’m happy for you!

Hell of a good shoot with @amandaseales.bsky.social and my crew. Thanks everybody!

Calm before the live show storm. @amandaseales.bsky.social starts at 6pm and livestream tickets sales are still open. Got to amandaseales.com

Oh, I love where this landed.

Agreed. Also, thank you for making me look up and learn a new to me word- “marcescent.” 🙏🏾

This is why I love my Grip homies- they’re having elections so they made booths out of some set walls and tables out of short c-stands and pancakes with baby pins. Always solving problems. 🤘🏾

Take my money, you crazy bastards.

This one sent me straight to your website. Looking forward to this coming out.

That’s my favorite type of prose.

Boo.

Looking forward to working with @amandaseales.bsky.social again! Get tickets and come through, it’s so worth your time!

Non-skater photogs always seem to pick the wrong moment for a trick.

Shaming is underrated and underutilized.

Shooting a teaser for a movie. In my house. I never learn.

Kid has never been that bright.

Sometimes I get to do fun stuff with fun people. Here are some ladies who play croquet.

Had totally forgotten that song was in his part. It works but only because of the skating. The song itself is absurd.

Game, set, match.

Helping out with Local 80 and the gang. Too bad Donnie isn’t on social media.

It’s nice that the city government recognizes the importance of keeping the film business going in Southern California. Honored to have helped out with Local 80.
