Behind The Scenes

Columbia Sportswear - Orca Songs

Aligning a “get away” shoot with Kesha, one of the biggest selling musicians in the last couple decades takes some serious planning and teamwork. San Juan Island was simply stunning as our backdrop for the few days we were there to film this fun piece on the Orcas.  Kesha was quite the “Whale Whisper” and an absolute pleasure to work with.

Job duties on this 3 day production included Producing, Locations, Talent Handler, Line Producer, 1st AD, Post Producer.

Columbia Sportswear - Date Night

Bringing a large group of people hundreds of miles from any paved road with access only by plane to film this creative short film for Columbia was another box checked in my “would never have done this if I wasn’t a producer” life story.  Located in the heart of the Wrangell-St Elias National Park, filming in and around these peaks that were truly out of this world.  I had a couple mornings scouting with just me and the pilot I will never forget. Heck, this entire shoot I will NEVER forget.  

Job duties on this 5 day production included Producing, Locations, Line Producer, Travel Logistics, 1st AD, Post Producer.
