Music video for Tarah Cards
As a long-time lover of the intersection of Camp and Spooky, it was a blast to help Tarah Cards bring to life her Nosferatu, early silent film era homage. Enjoy!

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.

Madame D. - short trailer
Fun first look at this short film I made over the last few weeks, Madame D.
Portraits with my family
While home in Tennessee, I was able to shoot some casual portraits with my family
Madame D.
Excited to put this little quarantine project out into the world today. Began submitting the 10 minute short, Madame D., to festivals today.
Music video shoot
Helping the multi-talented Bobby Bonesy out with some shots on his music video shoot out in Holy Cross at the abandoned school for orchestral metal band @anaretanola. And that is a sentence that could pretty much only be spoken in New Orleans :)
Portraits
Innkeeper John Dixon on the rugged headland along the Northern California coast.
She Comes in Peace
Colorful little social media spot for a New Orleans business :)
TikTok
Started posting some video from my bike rides around New Orleans during quarantine, and folks seem to be liking them :)
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.
God Don't Like Ugly - a short film
I was recently reminded of this funny short we made in LA about seven years ago. It ended up picking up a few awards for shorts in film festivals. Love, love, love working with Shana Williams.
Portrait photography - sizzle
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.
