What an incredible 2025. Major thanks to everyone What an incredible 2025. Major thanks to everyone who made this year incredible 🤝💯
Feeling incredibly grateful to have been a part of Feeling incredibly grateful to have been a part of this one 🎥  a few frame grabs straight out of my RED for an upcoming short written by my homie @kat_leidlein 

Shot on my RED and DZO Arles lenses and we spent most of the film working inside super tight NYC compact spaces, which turned into one of the most fun challenges I’ve had in a while. Also, quietly obsessed with how much mileage we got out of the new Colborlight compact hazer on this one. Small tools, big atmosphere 💨

Forever thankful for creative friends & projects like this 💯💪🏻

Massive shoutout to the crew who sweated it out on one of the hottest days of summer pulling off some slick outdoor setups and some killer interiors. Can’t wait to see this one causing trouble on TV. 🎬

Just wrapped on Last Night’s Stranger — a shor Just wrapped on Last Night’s Stranger — a short film shot with a great team shot in an incredible cabin that gave us textures, tones, and atmosphere for days We leaned into those layers with the DZO Arles lenses for the main narrative, then shifted into Atlas anamorphic glass for the flashbacks, giving the memories a look that stands out in the film. Great weekend with great people!  @reddigitalcinema @dzofilm @atlaslensco

One year with the Atlas Mercury Anamorphic lenses, One year with the Atlas Mercury Anamorphic lenses, and they’ve been an arrow in the quiver across a wide range of projects. To mark the anniversary, I’m releasing something that’s been in the vault since day one of owning the glass.  Run The Grid, unreleased running documentary that was filmed entirely on the Atlas Mercury Anamorphics and the RED Komodo X, pushing the lenses in a low-light environment to see how the look and going for intentional flares. Their versatility has continued to impress me ever since, and I’m looking forward to creating with them for years to come.

This spot for Alpha Gear is a tribute to the ones This spot for Alpha Gear is a tribute to the ones who know that time doesn’t wait—so neither do they.

Pushed by purpose. Shot with intention.
This shoot was wild as we raced the light through flash floods, and the bike gave out before the story did. But the grind doesn’t stop—and neither did we. Shot out to a small but mighty team that made this project happen!
