2022 Look Back

Having a birthday the 2nd day of the New Year always has its positives and negatives. I wish it was somewhere in the middle of the year to spread out some of the events but at the same time it always feels like a good time to look back at the year because it's both an actual new year and another year i've been alive.

Looking back 2022 was a crazy year. It started off to be one of the busiest i've ever had all suddenly halting the day Russia invaded Ukraine. I think a lot of us in the film industry especially felt that sudden jolt because it affected the economy which directly affected commercials and all the streaming service's bottom lines.

With that i've always been terrified on a weekly basis of putting all my eggs into one basket so i've tried to diversify the work i do in case of moments like this. Even that surprisingly wasn't as strong as i hoped but it was important nonetheless. The second half of the year while a lot of people I know were looking for work, I was blessed with enough work and some incredible opportunities. Working with tons of talent like Ryan Reynolds, Rob McElhenney, Kaitlin Olson, Blake Griffin, Nickelback, Jane Seymour, Linda Blair, Steve Burns, and brands like Marvel, Iron Man, Meta, Maximum Effort, Walking Dead, and so much more.

With that here are some of my favorite projects of the year. Thank you to every single producer, director, writer, or anyone that recommended me for a job. And to the incredibly talented crew members that helped me achieve some of these. None of these images were created without dozens of hard working and talented people and for that, i thank you all. Here's to an amazing 2023 for all of us!
