Here is a music video that I served as DP and Director entitled “Carrie James”. Jeff Tillman wrote and performed the piece and Cliff Downs Produced the song.
Just wrapped principle photography on the film “One Good Man” in Winston Salem, NC serving as the director of photography.
The shoot went surprisingly well considering the weather and the fact that the film was 80% exterior and on baseball fields. Somehow, the weather held off when we needed it to and we only had a few days that we went over 12 hours. All in all it was a great shoot and we had some fantastic crew members to thank for the speed and quality that we were able to accomplish on a daily basis.
“One Good Man” is the story of one man’s determination to give the young boys in his town hope and confidence. He seeks to accomplish this by forming a baseball team deliberately designed to involve both fathers and sons in a common effort. Unbeknownst to him, his actions will also bless and bring a new meaning in life to the father of one of the boys, a man serving a life sentence in the local penitentiary.

Check out the new Cast Interview video from Red Dirt Rising. Post production should be complete by the first of September. Keep checking back for more updates.
I just spend 2 warm weeks in North Florida working on the edit of Red Dirt Rising prepping for some additional shooting and pickup’s in mid May. Unless we encounter any further delays, we are on target to complete the film by mid summer. There’s still alot of work to be done but after completing the rough cut of the film, I’m even more jazzed to finish the film and get it out there for public consumption. I think whether you are a stockcar fan or just a fan of indie films, there is something in our movie that you will enjoy. It’s been a real test of patients and passions to see this film completed but we are close to the finish line.
Don’t forget to join our Facebook Group to stay up to date on what’s happening with the project.
Serving as Producer, Co-Director, DP and Editor; this project has been a labor of love for well over a year. Set in the 1930’s and 40’s around the world of moonshine running that gave birth to the modern stockcar racing, this film chronicles the lives of 3 seemingly forgotten heroes, Jimmie Lewallen, Bill Blair and Fred Harb.

Check out this scene from the rough cut of the film, visually it is one of my favorites:
So, the question is “What is the audiences’ reaction when they except something to happen but nothing does?” That was part of the task for one of my latest projects. In association with Ellen Pfirrmann of Eljapa Media Group, we created several video elements for Lynoir-Rhyne University using nothing but a chair as our central character.
It’s about 3 minutes in length so check it out and email me what you think. Remember, it’s really about how you react, not what’s on screen. (I do like the composition of the shots though.)
