So honored to be the Director of Photography for On a Bus, such an important and impactful and extremely real season of D20, that is, of course, on a bus (for the first ten minutes). 🚌💕

Endlessly honored to see the reception to the things we work on, and it's extra special to see it for NSBU. It's the first season that I spearheaded as Director of Photography as well as Ruby and I's projection work, and it continues to be one of the funniest things I've ever gotten to witness. #14!

Just a normal day at the office, when your office this week just happens to be one of the most iconic buildings in the world.

Steal Their Look - Elias Hodge Need the perfect outfit for jumping out a window to get away from your evil boss? Boy do I have the thing for you! It's Elias's outfit from Mentopolis! Grappling Gun included!! This is all, truly, exactly what I wore for this. Yes, the gun is extremely front heavy.

posting some of the projections that Ruby and I made for dimension 20's mentopolis in honor of the finale tonight!! it was so much fun working with something so stylized (my favorite thing to do), and slowly losing my mind repeating "tubes tubes tubes" to myself as I drew each one individually 🧠
