Monica. A film by Andrea Pallaoro. Shot in my hometown Cincinnati Ohio. I am so incredibly proud to have had a small part in this beautifully crafted piece. When we were making it I knew it was going to be powerful but GOD DAMN… The way this story is told, no spoon feeding, giving so much integrity to the audience, work like this is why I got into film making in the first place. @katearizmendi and @theboythatlovedmichelangelo pursued a visual style that is complex, challenges the viewer and pays off in a major way. @tracelysette and @clarksonpatricia deliver stunning, dynamic performances.

The shoot was very challenging. Very limited resources. Ultra low budget shooting in a small market region during one of the busiest moments of the film industry in recent years. Local resources were pretty much tapped and we had to train most of our local crew. They really stepped up and helped make this film what it is.

Finally seeing this on the big screen reinforced my true love for this art form. So so grateful to be a part of it. Thanks to producer @eric.b.cook and everyone that made it happen and especially @katearizmendi @yeaforbes and @j.ytc for letting me get my hands dirty. The best band of misfits I could ever hope to be a part of. 😘

To Leslie - Released 2022. Had the pleasure of lighting this beautiful piece for cinematographer Larkin Seiple. The challenge: shoot 120 pages in 19 days on a tier 1 budget during the height of the covid pandemic. As gnarly as that sounds, the entire cast and crew buckled down and made it happen. Didn’t really have time to shoot any bts. Also I was pretty distracted by the cast’s incredible performances under such intense circumstances. Everyone delivered 1000% and I’m proud of what we accomplished. Thanks for having us @larksss

Some favorite lighting stills from our @calvinklein shoot w/ @dakotajohnson.

Shot on @kodak_shootfilm VERITA 200D.

Our primary lighting instruments were Arrimax 18ks gelled w/ H CTO and 12 light Maxi brutes w/ NSPs pushing from outside. Inside we used smaller tungsten open faced 2ks bouncing into an unbleached muslin 8x. Conventional tungsten lekos for floor skips and architectural highlights. Because of the emphasis on achieving the best possible quality skin tones and parameters of the film stock, we chose to go old school and use minimal LEDs. It was the right approach and yielded an iconic piece that I’m extremely proud of.

We are so thankful for all of the collaborators and partners we’ve had over the years. The cinematographers, producers, directors, crew members and vendors who’ve shown us love and support… we love you and wish you a happy, healthy new year full of opportunity. Because of your support we’re here today moving into a fully outfitted double axel 35’ semi trailer. Capable of servicing any size and scale, anytime, anywhere. There are so many people over the years who’ve gone out on a limb for us that it’s impossible to list, but you know who you are. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, and I cannot wait to get into 2026 and see what’s next on the horizon for us all.

#BTS from US ARMY. The approach was fairly simple and straightforward and with such a beautiful backdrop of lush PNW colors it was really hard not to make it look great.

Our key source was usually a long row of @asteraofficial #titantube that we could wrap in different configurations. For edges we used @electronictheatrecontrols #Lustr3. To paint the forest and really make the colors pop we used 2x 120’ condors rigged with 6x @creamsource #vortex8 and 2x @elationlighting #proteusmaximus #movers. The proteus lights are a real game changer. Finally a mover that has the standards of light quality and color for motion picture that is ALSO IP65 rated and can be used in harsh environments, such as winter in the PNW.

Super fun shoot. Thank you to all the homies that came together to make it happen!!!
