New edit work for @johnshopkinsu with director @morton.works!
I drew a lot of inspiration from Oppenheimer for this edit, utilizing assets from @weareacidbite to help create energetic bursts of discovery and scientific wonder to intercut with the poetic voice over.
Hopefully this inspires you to pursue higher education, start a scientific venture, and change the world!

It’s always better with friends.
Got to partner with my old pals at @vokestudio to edit this spot for @thepicklr! @gavin_buckland and @tucurly4u have been absolutely killing it over there and it’s been awesome to witness their journey the last couple of years. Glad we still get to collaborate on things!!
And finally had a chance to work with the incredibly talented @blainehogan on something! Not only a director that I look up to, but also an amazing human being that I have immense admiration for.
I hope you enjoy this spot. We had a little fun making it 😏

As a creative, this series has been a true privilege to work on. If you’re in the business of crafting ANYTHING, I highly recommend you check out Quest for Craft, a web series featuring @questlove and @thebalvenie. You won’t regret your time listening to and learning from some of the most brilliant creative minds out there.
Thank you to producer @robpaulmeyer and director @trev.tv for bringing me on as an editor for this series!

It’s not everyday that you get a call to do an edit for a collaboration between @rocketleague, @puma, and @mancity! Stoked to be able to take this one on. Thanks for letting me go crazy with it, @gavin_buckland.

@jonnymendez__ You freaking killed this score!! I love giving you a blank canvas and just having you blow my mind with what you come up with. Thanks for always being down to come alongside my projects. Can’t wait to see you blow up out here in LA!
@jacobcushman Dude! You drove down in the middle of the night to be a part of this! That meant so much to me, man. You were so freaking helpful all 3 days on set. Thanks for running around with the go pro and sound recorders on the track, and for being a killer AC on set. Your work ethic and attitude and unmatched. Hoping we can work together again soon!
@coffeyfab Those car rotisserie shots were all you, man! Thank you for all your help building that rotisserie and sourcing the junk car for it. The craziest shots of this film would not have been possible without you! Much appreciated 🙏🏻
@billygomes79 @jacobhart90117 @film_dope You guys were the real MVPs!! We had some crazy stuff planned for this shoot, and you guys made it happen. Thank you so much for rolling with the punches and just being an incredible team to work with. 🙏🏻
@quinlan.ulysses Dude, you were so helpful to have on set! And your attitude through the whole project was incredible. Thank you for your work on this! Hope you’ve been well!
@30mileswest Thanks for all the killer BTS photos and video! Still can’t believe we had that BTS film made THE SAME DAY that we filmed! Insane. Thanks for making us all look good!
@serendipitylit Thank you and your team for believing in my vision and supporting us in getting this story out there! And, of course, thank you for work on Winning in Reverse which inspired it all. #WinningInReverse
Ryan Pribyl - You are the man!!! The work you do brings all of my films to a whole new level. You just elevate everything you touch. A true artist! Appreciate your friendship and support over all the years!

@meptik @nicholasrivero Thank you to the team at Meptik for taking my vision and blowing past all my expectations with it! The work you guys did in Unreal Engine was insane. Can’t wait to partner with you guys again some time!
@bradfordhaynes12 Thank you for diving into this role and throwing everything you have at it. Incredible working with you on this! Can’t wait to do it again. Oh, and sorry for all the flips we put you through! Haha
@tucurly4u It was a blast having you out for this shoot! Thank you for driving all the way down to be a part of it, and thank you for all of your work on the VFX before and after the shoot! Oh and thank you to @amylturner for coming down and helping with the LED content!!
@courtneybaucom Thank you for coming out to be a part of this project! You kept us all on track and were incredibly helpful the whole time. Hoping we can work together again soon!
@tracieprichard Amazing work on the art direction!!! Brought my vision 100% to life, and such a joy to work with you. Thanks for coming alongside the project and being willing to buy some — ahem — unsightly objects for this one 😬
@forthouston @gmorrrris You guys slayed this set design! So awesome working with you guys on this.
@cachoalonso Thank you for your work on the sound! You were the invisible hero, capturing everything perfectly. Hoping we can work together again soon!
@codyfisherwilliams @skylargalayda @jtwylie This film would not have been possible without each of you! You guys worked so hard behind the scenes to make sure everything ran smoothly, which was no small feat for this ambitious of a project! What a killer team.
Tim Mercer - Thank you for diving into the boss role like you did! Your voice provided the backbone for much of this film. Thank you for being a part of it and helping to bring this story to life!

@gavin_buckland You’ve never said no to my crazy ideas, including when I called you up and said “Hey, so I have this short film that I want to shoot in 3 weeks and we have no producer. Want to step in to produce it? Oh yeah, we also need 2 race cars, a private track, oh and there’s a little car flip scene, so no big…” A true friend and champion for helping me to pull this off on such short notice. Everyone should find a producer that’s willing to get in the car with them to test the flipping mechanics. So to speak. Special shout out to @layne_buckland for supporting you so you could support me! Awesome hanging with both of you in Nashville for a few days back in 2021.
@kenthwaits You were a godsend! This film really would not have happened without you. Thank you for supporting this project and for your impeccable driving behind the wheel!
@treager What. A. Dude. You drove 8 hours to and from Nashville with me in order to take a lower role than you normally do just to help support this project. I’m so thankful for your friendship, man!
@wilson_precision What. A. Ride. This was the most fun I’ve had on set, hands down. Such a blast being in the chase car with you at the wheel. Thanks for allowing us to push what’s possible and for being down to try some crazy things. I’m already dreaming up how we can utilize your skills even more on the next one! And a special shout out to @yeahsammyshoots for being in the trunk through all that driving! And for the killer arm work, of course. And to @bennetthimself for keeping everything sharp through the twists and turns!
@ptcdriving Your track was the perfect venue for this project. Thank you for working with us to make this film possible. It couldn’t have happened without the support of your team!

I feel like this was the last hoo-rah for this short film that we released over a year ago, and I wanted to take a moment to make sure that everyone that was a part of this gets the full recognition they deserve.
There are so many reasons why this film shouldn’t have happened. But everyone who was a part of this film - YOU made it possible. I have so much gratitude in my heart for every single one of you and I want to thank each of you personally. There are too many people to thank in one IG post, so I’m splitting it up into a few posts!
All the credit first and foremost goes to @billlesterracing for defying the odds and going the distance to pursue his dream. Bill, you’ve been a true inspiration to me and to countless others. Thank you for your courage to never stop and to push through every obstacle in your way. A true legend.
@quintonbrogan You were with me from the beginning on this, dreaming up different passion projects to go after when the world shut down. Thanks for being my wingman on this and trusting that we could pull it off. Your visuals always blow me away, and you’re just a blast to be on set with. And the color work!!! 🤌🏻 Let’s make it happen again soon!
@gearseven @shiftdynamics.co @arcstudios.tv @ryan_atenhan @kirkslawek This project would not have happened without you guys and the elite team at Gear Seven!!! Thank you for coming alongside this project and supporting stories that need to be told. What a blast those three days of filming in Nashville were!

Ever since seeing Argo, I’ve been fascinated with the 1979 Iranian hostage crisis. So imagine my delight when I was tapped to direct a documentary about it!
Due to the sensitivity of the subject matter, we’ve had to keep the full doc under wraps, but I am able to at least share this intro sequence! We used real archival footage from the crisis as well as declassified documents to help lead into our live action recreations of the event. @tucurly4u did an incredible job taking these assets and creating a whole world around them! Love working with that insanely talented dude.
