When your boss lets you screen your rough cut for feedback during lunch. Complete with take out from @tedsbirmingham which is featured in the film! PHILOXENIA will be part of @southfoodways Spring Symposium next month!
So excited to be creating a short film for @southfoodways' Spring Symposium! My film, Philoxenia, will be delving into Birmingham’s deep history Greek-owned restaurants 🇬🇷
New year, New gear! Excited to have spent January breaking in my new @djiglobal Osmo pocket camera and @gatapack mask as I work on my shot doc for @southfoodways!
Spent today doing some research for a new short doc I'm excited to be directing during the first part of the year. More to come on that soon! 😉 🇬🇷
When I went to LA for my internship with @dirtyrobber the only thing I knew I absolutely wanted to do was take improv classes at @ucbtla. I spent every Sunday at class and many more hours laughing at great shows and experiencing seeing folks I loved from podcasts and TV in real life. I'm so sad to hear UCB Sunset is closing it's doors. (Yes, some of these photos are from Franklin) Me in front of the Franklin theater 2015 ➡️ UCB Sunset ➡️ Impov class graduation show backstage ➡️ Franklin Marquee ➡️ A quick and bad photo of the cast of Childrens Hospital at an Emmys FYC event. #tbt
Super excited to throw on my @sidewalkfilm mask next month and head downtown to see the films they're showing as a satellite screen during @sundanceorg's 2021 festival. So glad Sidewalk is here to bring indie cinema to Birmingham! 🎟
