Music video stills

How about a drag second line at the End of the World? In New Orleans it's traditional to throw a funeral parade (or “second line”) to honor the deceased. In this case, it was for the untimely demise of a San Francisco bar called The Stud. A bunch of queens with ties to the venerable SF institution got together and paraded to the End of the World, a riverbank along the Mississippi River in the Bywater neighborhood.

Portraits with my family

While home in Tennessee, I was able to shoot some casual portraits with my family

Leslie Jordan cameo

Leslie Jordan certainly has become the breakout star of quarantine, eh? His followers on Instagram went from about 50k to over 4.3 million (and counting). Amazing. He deserves as broad an audience as possible, such a talent. We’ve worked together on a few projects and I wanted to share this cameo he did in my documentary, Hollywood to Dollywood. Funny, smart, classy and unapologetically himself at all times.

2020 Reel

Always an interesting, humbling, entertaining and nostalgic thing to do… rifle through all of the footage I’ve shot over the last couple of years. It’s certainly been a wild few years traveling around the country to shoot music festivals, museums, large gatherings of people… all a relic of the past, for now. Lucky to direct a few music videos each year to keep those creative juices flowing and happy to help out on as many non-profit videos as I can.

Remember large gatherings of fun people?

Wild to think its only been a few weeks that we’ve gathered in groups of more than 10, but January already feels like a distant memory. Remembering the awesome times during College Football Playoff here in New Orleans: the concerts, the fan fest, the pep rallies… what a great weekend.

Peroid of Adjustment by Tennessee Williams

A little late posting this promo for a play I was in back in December, but since I was recently nominated for a Big Easy Award for Best Actor, I thought I’d put it on the blog here. I was an actor long before I ever began shooting or editing, but I’d not pursued it much over the last 15 years. When the opportunity to play Ralph Bates in the “serious comedy” by Tennessee Williams came along, I leapt at it. What an incredible experience.
