This was a trailer for the internal, three episode documentary that I shot for Pfizer with long time collaborator Mike Edwards. We started this project at the very very beginning of the COVID-19 outbreak and were able to get a few interviews and some Broll before travel was shut down. Then we had two challenges, continue filming interviews and then cutting them into the film without just using low quality zoom recordings full screen. The solve was to shoot them like a tabletop or product photography shoot. We built screens on a large table, projected the footage into the screen and then filmed it.

One of a series for Amazon. Amazon selected customers from their marketplace from all over the US and we told their stories. The real challenge of this shoot was the schedule. We filmed 7 stories in 10 days from Princeton to New York City to Washington DC to Tampa Bay to Las Vegas to Salt Lake City and finally Seattle.

During the winter of 1944, the US Army was in a desperate situation. It became worse when the 101st Airborne and the 10th Armored divisions both lost nearly all their trained medical personnel. But in this darkest time, two Belgian women, trained nurses, stepped forward and helped, saving the lives of countless soldiers. One of these women, Renee Lemaire, has been forever remembered as "The Angel of Bastogne", books have been written about Renee and she was characterized in the HBO hit series, "Band of Brothers". The other woman was almost a myth. No one seemed to know if she was real or even what her name was. In "Band of Brothers" she was the nurse from the Congo. Searching for Augusta is an EMMY® winning feature length documentary which tells her story and historian Martin King's search for this brave woman.

This was a really enjoyable project. Every year, the American Institute of Architects awards its Gold Medal awards for achievement. Marlon Blackwell is a gifted creative from Arkansas doing brilliant work that uses repurposed and local materials. This profile was a lot of fun.

In a continuing series for Bristol Myers Squibb. This was the first to be local for me. This enabled the use of some tools like a slider that would normally not be available for these location shoots. This was also one of my first times using Blackmagic's Pocket 6K camera which I ended up liking a lot.
