My DGA directorial debut started with a jib, a drone, (2) cameras on Cinepeds and (1) on an Arri Master prime on a lush green hill a top a vineyard looking out over the Santa Monica mountains - really doesn’t get better than that!

I was so nervous.

But my bosses believed in me, they set me up for success. And what I learned from that first day of directing is that from here on out, I want to do the same for others. Teamwork is a magical thing.
