One heckuva ride, indeed! We just received news that not only did Bartels take home three Golds, but we won Best of Show in the District Regionals.

We're headed to Austin for Nationals in May!

Some final thoughts from our interview with Marcellus Williams. His thoughts on injustice in his case and in America at large, but also his thoughts on how much good he found in the world through his faith, his son and those that came together to support him. May his death be a catalyst for reform. #marcelluswilliams #documentary #deathpenalty #injustice #innocenceproject #reels

Sometimes we’re tasked with building a library of assets for a well-established brand…and sometimes we need to shoot assets to be composited into previous library assets, but we’re always up for the task! New work from director Noah Readhead @noahreadhead and photographer Judd Demaline @iamjudd_demaline for Fancy Feast from our friends at CKMK.

How does an innocent man get executed in America today? In Missouri, it might be easier than you think.

For a state that incarcerates its population at a higher rate than most countries on earth the system has been rigged to make sure these convictions remain final no matter what comes to light.

At the center of it all: Marcellus Williams. Even though DNA evidence was discovered seven years ago that could have exonerated him, the state has refused to even allow an evidentiary hearing to present this.

Marcellus Williams’ execution date is currently set for September 24th, 2024.

In collaboration with @noahreadhead

The Internet is an amazing tool. It makes the world much, much smaller. I found @lucaschwantes ‘s work online and knew that I wanted him to animate a project that @mt.richmond and myself were working on.

Lucas was based in Porto, Portugal, but we decided to give it a try. Over a year later, we’ve passed PSD files back and forth via Google Drive and WeTransfer and animation direction via Google Docs. We wrote at least a hundred emails and did Google Meet a few times. We are almost finished with the documentary, “David Bartels’ Fifteen Minutes” and thought it fitting that I’d come visit him while in Portugal. Lucas has been an amazing collaborator and an artist.

Thanks for showing us a good time and for introducing us to Francesinhas.

I can’t wait to drop this project. Swipe through for a tease of the upcoming documentary project.

Incredibly proud to be part of the “George” team. Our documentary is up for a Jury Award in the Shorts category at @sebastopoldocs. We’ve been selected and are amongst some of documentary’s heaviest hitters including @bgproudfoot at @breakwaterstudios.

Sebastopol Documentary Film Festival runs March 16-19 in person, with the virtual festival running March 20-29.

This festival is Academy Award Qualifying….so wish us luck!

In the summer of 2016, I made a bold choice.

After years of producing uninspiring brand stories, I set out to tell a narrative of my own—no big brands, no key messaging, no briefs—just a heartfelt story about an extraordinary individual.

I enlisted my good friend, @nateltownsend to help give vision to my idea. This project became a real passion of mine. We spent 3 years capturing footage and a year of post-production. The timeline wasn’t really the driving force on this, but telling the story as authentically as I could was. The project would be done when it was done.

When I locked the edit, I reached out to @djcoolfire to see if @coolfirestudios would help me with finishing. He agreed and put @kevykevj on color, @brentj21 on scoring and @danedickmann on sound design.

When Coolfire had finished, I was massively proud of the piece that we had created and I set my sights on winning a regional Emmy. With the support of many, “Always Coming Back” earned one.

It’s silly, but this trophy represents validation that going out on my own was the right move. Thanks to everyone that helped me get here.
