Week 7: Dating Apps

Week 6: Things Change

This past week the plan was to make a video about my hometown.  As I went around the city and visited places I hadn’t been in over a decade it hit me how much things have changed. How much I have changed! And yet I couldn’t figure out why I had changed.  

In this week's video that is what I discuss.  I talk about how working at a sandwich shop really helped to shake up my life and how I ended up taking an improv class in Hollywood at The Groundlings.  

I found myself getting emotional when I was reliving all these memories all over my hometown.  It was very unexpected.

I hope you enjoy!

I would be wrong not to mention where the title came from:

Week 5: Camping

I’ve been in San Francisco for the past week.  And those of you in America you know it was Super Bowl Sunday this past weekend and the game took place in San Francisco.

So as people flooded into the city to either go to the game my friends and I realized none of us really care about football! So we decided it would be a good opportunity to get away from it all.  

We went camping up in Northern California at a place called Pomo Canyon.  The campground ended up being closed so we hiked around and found a good spot off site to camp for the weekend.  It was a beautiful place with great views of the coast.  We made some amazing food and I have to say this was probably the best Super Bowl weekend I have ever had!  Who won the Super Bowl again? Nah just messing it’s not worth it.

And for those of you that are wondering the song is a Billy Joel cover of Vienna played and sung by Larry Fisherman (aka Mac Miller).  The key is that the song is slowed down.  I found the mood of the song and the words that Billy Joel wrote to be very appropriate to how I was feeling this weekend.  

Living just a couple days without my phone was a very refreshing feeling.  It has provoked a couple ideas for some videos, so watch out for those!

Thanks everyone for watching and I will see you next week!   

Week 3: Mexico, I Love You

I've been seeing Mexico in the news a lot lately.  It's a place that I love and I feel it is not being represented properly.  

The footage of Mexico in this video is from a filming job that I went on last year to Mexico city.  When I arrived I was overwhelmed by how crowded the city was so I went to bed!  I woke up the next morning at 4am, grabbed the Canon C300 we had brought with us and went out into the city to see it awaken as the day started.  

I'll always loved this footage but it didn't seem like something I could put out on it's own.  I'm really happy with how the combination of this footage from last year and the voiceover I did on Saturday combined into a film.  Back when I filmed in Mexico City filming it was only the beginning of me figuring out that I love Mexico.  

Enjoy!
