We will be.

As people we are compelled to be heard, to create, dance, express, thank, and come together. We’ll paint without a canvas, we’ll make a stage where there isn’t one, because there’s always an audience waiting. I’d seen these images online & in media, but dove in and found so many I couldn’t believe.

Wove this together, and am still overwhelmed with the beauty of the world & the people in it. Stay strong in these strange and difficult times, and let’s keep doing what we do.

(Thank you for assistant editing, lending your musical talent, & sound mixing @nicallynrogers [IG])

SCAD aTVfest: Alumni bring television to life

Job: EPK Cinematographer and Producer

For: Stranger Things on Netflix

Caleb likened EPK (electronic press kit) cinematography to his passion for documentary filmmaking. He explained that he works with publicity and is on set “to capture how everything is made from props to set dressing to direction.” Caleb performs interviews with different parts of the crew and gets footage of different scenes everyday. Ultimately, he designs a package that lets viewers “see how their favorite shows and movies are made.”

What do you credit SCAD with in launching your career?

“As an LGBTQ creator growing up in a community where that was not accepted, coming to SCAD was a place for me to be able to feel safe and to be able to become and develop into who I wanted to be. Being able to just be myself creatively and to pursue a career that I’m passionate about has been such a gift.”

The Fox Theatre by the WITH/agency

Thrilled to share the 'making of' film created by Johnny Kim and Glen Kwon (creators behind Stay Visualant) detailing the creation of a campaign and series of commercial spots for The Fox Theatre by the WITH/agency.

I've been working on this - producing and directing - over the past year, and more content will continue to roll out over the next six months. This project was ambitious, complex, and involved a crew of 50+ working tirelessly and being experts in their department (thinking about Joshua Wiley Sims, gaffer, and Whitney Hill Doyle, 1st AD, in particular).

Thank you to Jin Kim for lending your immense talent to this project - as DP and colorist. Over the past year it's been an honor to challenge each other and continue achieving the impossible.

Rose Freitag, it's been the thrill of my professional career working so closely with you. From writing scripts to starting every day with new challenges to overcome, I hope we work together for many years to come.

Thank you to The WITH/agency (including Blair Brady, Jamie Sims, Jon Voss, Jessica Erin Jackson., and everyone else on the team) for believing in this crew and supporting this production from pre-production through broadcast. The last year has been such a ride, and I look forward to many - even more ambitious - projects ahead.

SCAD 2018 EMBRACE Conference

Friday I had the honor of speaking on the SCAD 2018 EMBRACE Conference panel about building a purposeful and impactful career in the creative industry. Having graduated just 3 years ago, it was meaningful to share my journey and reflect on the years since. I then led a breakout session titled “Diverse Experiences & Lessons Learned,” discussing the key influences and milestones that have shaped my path so far. I was proud to speak about the creative leadership and mentorship I’ve received from teams at WITH/agency, Focus Features/Trailer Park, and Vaden Automotive Group as I launched my career. I also shared my gratitude for the remarkable women I’ve had the privilege of working for and alongside—thinking of Blair, Ann, Liz, Jane, Lora, and my colleagues at WITH/agency.

BOY ERASED | Trailer

Can’t describe how I feel watching the trailer for Boy Erased (@boyerased). I had the honor of working on the film as EPK cinematographer/BTS documentarian (EPK: capturing daily behind the scenes footage & interviews w/ cast & crew). I still can’t believe this was the first motion picture I had the honor of working on. This project was personal in the deepest way for me. Read the book, watch the trailer, and support this film - it will change lives.

'Boy Erased' Behind-the-scenes Documentarian

Wrapped early this morning on the most incredible experience of my life. Over the last 8 weeks I was honored to work as the behind the scenes documentarian on ‘Boy Erased,’ a forthcoming film about gay conversion therapy. In my role I interviewed cast and crew and captured daily BTS content. This project had deep personal meaning for me, and I’m awestruck that this is the first major motion picture I’ve worked on. This film, like the memoir on which it's based, will save lives and change minds, and I’m honored to have had a hand in it. So grateful for all the friends I’ve made during this incredible time.
