$5 Shops

Where I am from, $5 haircut shops don’t exist.

From the streets of Chi to collaboration

A sequence from the L to a music video shoot at native Sound Recordings STL with A Band Called Feel. Shooting my buddies Michael Page and Michael Morones is always a pleasure.

Jack and Jill have a Conversation

Jack and Jill had a Conversation that was Long Overdue (2018)
Write your dialogue below! Mine is as follows... Jill: (Yell whispering) How the fuck am I supposed to keep this on the 'down-low' as you called it?!
Jack: It's not rocket science, just don't talk about it.
Jill: It hasn't left my mind, Jack!
Jack: Don't tell mom.
Jill: She will get it out of me. She can read me like a book. (Pause)
Jack: Here's what we're gonna do. You'll go back to the table first. Tell mom you're not feeling well and you have to split.
Jill: (mocking Jack) heh heeeh Yeah, I'll just leave. What are you 10?! This isn't fucking elementary school.
Jack looks back at a table. Their mom leans back starring at them.
Jack: Okay, look. Don't tell her about the kid.. and.. I won't tell her about your loose night in LA.
Jill pierces her lips. Abruptly faces her mom
Jill: (Yelling to Mom) Mom, Jack has something he'd like to share with you.

What is your favorite thing about Cinematography?

Anthony Gibson asked me what my favorite aspect of cinematography was one day while we were walking around. It stumped me. There’s so much to love, and it’s hard to pin down one part that I like more than another. Ultimately, I figured out it was the mindset. Everything is beautiful if you are at the right place at the right time and the light is right. The fact that cinematography has changed my outlook on life and has helped make the mundane things beautiful is my favorite aspect. And this bike just happened to be an example right before us as I answered his question.
