The Fresh Show Episode 4: Home Game Number One

The Fresh Show Episode 4 from Immotion Studios on Vimeo.



Hey there! The Fresh Show is getting really good now. Check out Episode 4 that is the directing debut of my assistant editor, Coleman "cooldaddy" Anderson. I think Coleman did a knockout job on this episode. I wanted drama and he went and out and got it. Great job dude! Episodes 5 and 6 are in the can and the show is just getting better! Thanks again to everyone at the North Texas Fresh basketball team and the ABA for continuing to give us unlimited access to this franchise. Come see The Fresh play by going HERE.

Carried Away trailer



I recently got the opportunity to edit a trailer for the film, Carried Away, directed by Fort Worth native, Tom Huckabee. The film was also produced by my good buddy and fellow Ft. Worth filmmaker James M. Johnston. The film has it's premiere at the Oxford Film Festival on Feb. 5! I will keep people in the mix when it hits town here. Congrats to everyone that worked on this film, they have done a tremendous job as the movie is quite good in my opinion. And thanks to Tom Huckabee and star Gabriel Horn for the opportunity to work on the film! Now get out there and kick some festival ass my friends!

Zu's going big time again!



My cat, Zu did some modeling work for some cat food packaging for Food Lion store several months ago. Well he was seen and asked to do some more for a different client. And yesterday he did his second professional modeling gig! I took him in early to get him more comfortable, and after a while he knocked it out of the park. Zu is a cat that was found at my office who was abandoned and only has three feet. he was born without a back foot. So he's kind of a Pirate cat. I don't know when the packaging will be complete, but here are some pics and video from the shoot....

The Fresh Show Episode 3: Riders on the Storm

The Fresh Show Episode 3 from Immotion Studios on Vimeo.


Since July I have been following around (when I can) the new ABA expansion basketball team in Ft. Worth called, The North Texas Fresh. I knew that when I started this project that I wanted to do a documentary on a subject that I really loved. That being basketball. I had tried to do this with the Fort Worth Flyers a few years ago, but was cock blocked by the NBA. So next came this opportunity with the NT Fresh. At first I didn't really know where we where going. In fat this being my first doc, I'm still not sure myself. But I have enlisted some friends to help me with this labor of love. There is no pay in this, just love of the game and guys that are just trying to get a foot in the door of the pro level. They are hungry and play hard.

I started to make them more of a promotional video. In fact the first two episodes were very much promotional. So with this third episode I have tried to move more to a documentary style. I've been somewhat delayed in the filming due to some issues outside of my control, but with the help of my fillmmaker buddies, Coleman Anderson and Jason Todd Hampton they have picked me up and got me back into the grind of documentary filmmaking. Thank you guys! and thanks to Fresh CEO Jay Bowdy and the ABA for giving me total access to the team and operations. And also thanks to my day job at Immotion Studios for the use of the editing facilities and cameras to pull this off.

So I have decided to keep filming when possible, and also make a web series out of it for now so that i can practice my doc style on the fly while letting the series promote the team. Documentary filmmaking is rough going. Tougher than I ever imagined. It takes total and undying dedication. I am aspiring to get there, and my hat is off to all you documentarians out there. This is hard stuff. I plan on doing 10 episodes total. So here is the third episode in the series now re-nammed, The Fresh Show. Check it out above, and to see the others visit The Fresh Show site by clicking HERE.

Texas Trust spot turns into a 78 reunion shoot!!

I recently produced a video for the Texas Trust Credit union web site. The fun thing was I got to hire Merk Harbour who played Renny in my movie "Seventy-8", and also hired my DP of choice, Jason Todd Hampton to be my DOP. So it was like a mini reunion. With Marija Gluscevic co-producing and newcomer to our team Coleman "cooldaddy" Anderson working the teleprompter, we had a blast. Check it:
