Let’s Go
This film series highlights various non-profit organizations that Hydro Flask provides grants for. Traveling to each location such as Cornwall, England or Washington DC, each of these productions have included 1 full day of scouting and 3 full days of production. “Run n Gun” docu style production, a lot of this happens on the fly as we roll from scene to scene. Each of these episodes includes 1 long form film around 4-5 minutes and then the normal multiple cut downs that todays edits require.
Job duties for this series have been Directing, Producing, Travel Logistics, Talent, Line Producing and Post Producing to completion.

Why We Go
A wonderful series of short films that highlights people from all walks of life who simply love the outdoors. In the peak of Covid, we created a path to production by working with just the DP and our talent and guiding them with top level direction on these 1 day shoots. Remote recording sessions at recording studios near each of the talent then allowed us to weave together the VO narration that would create the voice for the film. With a new film dropping every 2 weeks, I have between 2 - 3 of these in production at all times.
Job duties - oversee all facets of the production from beginning to end.
