Won a Telly Award with Milli Agency!

I’m so happy to have been part of this Milli Agency Bar None campaign which just won a Telly Award! It was a great experience filming bartender, Jason Yu, and creating an award-winning video on a relaxing weekday afternoon. The team at Milli are a smart, talented, and driven group that have put together some amazing campaigns. You can find the case study here and the award page here.

Sysco Foodie video with Chef Marcus Means

Video I shot and edited for Sysco Foodie with Chef Marcus Means in Atlanta.

New video with Camilla La Vie!

I love working with the Camilla La Vie team and bringing their dresses and ideas to life. They created a cool live action comic book / fashion shoot and coincided with this video. We shot at the Oheka Castle and I was fascinated by it’s rich history and magnificent design. It’s always a joy to film projects at picturesque locations because it makes the shot that much better, plus I have a decent place to take selfies :P

An Instagram Account with a Sci-Fi Story told through content

I’m pleased to announce a new webseries and project that I’m directing, producing, and developing the content strategy on that has a new twist on the idea of purgatory. THE ASYLUM is a story about an organization between heaven and hell that decides whether souls go to heaven or hell. Written by my friend David O’Neil, the story follows a lost soul named Hannah Donovan and her search for her late fiance while taking on the role of soul bounty hunter for the Warden of the Asylum, Maggie.

I’m so happy that I was able to work with a talented crew to create a variety of content on a single shoot day to build a world on Social Media through photos, videos, gifs, and blogs. I’ve always wanted to create a property that transcends traditional media and utilizes the full extent of today’s storytelling platforms that includes digital. I directed and edited this teaser and will be releasing 2 more narrative videos soon so please visity TheAsylumNow.com for more info and stay tuned for more content!

New Infuse Spirits Founders Video

Every year, I have the pleasure of working with Seth (the founder of the all natural infusion company Infuse Spirits) on creating videos for his company to tell his story and feature his new products. This is our updated video with new bottle designs and his new line of bitters. I’m always impressed with how much he grows every year and how we both help each other expand in our crafts.

Video for Scrappys Bitters

I had the pleasure of working with Milli Agency to create a cool video with Jason Yu and Scrappy's Bitters.   I love working with other creative artists in different fields along with progressive brands that believe in the power of social content and video.  It was fun creating this piece with Jason since we had to make his apartment look like a mini-bar while still capturing his personality in his surroundings.  He's a talented mixologist that was very humble despite his big following on Instagram, which made the experience smooth and fun.  

I used the Panasonic GH5s, Beholder Gimbal, and a few lenses to create the video and feel that we were able to create something awesome for the amount of time we had.  Hope you enjoy this piece and please support my friends at Milli Agency, Jason Yu, and Scrappy's Bitters!

"[My favorite drink is] the Old Fashioned. It's so simple, yet strangely elusive to the unknowing and so easily over-convoluted by the untrained. It's a straightforward cocktail that really doesn't give the bartender anything to hide behind, and when it's off, you know it. The Old Fashioned revels in the beauty of simplicity and is revered when it's executed correctly. . When people walk into my bar unless they already know what they want, I like to feel them out before I serve them - personality type, mood, likes, dislikes, flavor preferences, things like that. A lot of the time, I like to take dislikes as a challenge and try to turn it into something the guest would enjoy. It doesn't always work, but so far, my success rate has been pretty good. The presentation of the drink is also based on the what I can gather from the guest's personality, ranging from anything casual and classic to elegant and edgy. It's one of my favorite games with someone new to my bar and helps establish a lasting first impression." - @jasonfyu

Updated Infuse Vodka Founders Video

I recently re-shot and edited the Infuse Spirits Founders video to update it with new branding and shots.  I had a blast with the founder, Seth, while we shot this in Las Vegas and also spent a few nights getting the voice over right.  Always a pleasure helping other people and their brands through my video work and love how new shots came out!  

Next up is their "How It's Made" video which will go through all the steps of how Infuse Spirits are made through their unique process.
