This week I had a blast directing IIP’s first-ever scripted “PSA” style video. The comedic piece highlights the diversity of American life and culture through a character who takes a trip around the world via restaurants located in DC.

The team was really amazing – a true pleasure to work with. We contracted local legend Sheila Smith as DP. She brought in a sweet Panasonic large chip HD camera with a high speed Fujinon HD lens. Needless to say, I’m pretty satisfied with the look.
We also cast Tim Lewis as the lead character – he was hilarious. He has near cartoon like ability to express very nuanced emotions and ideas.

My colleagues Ben and Brandon rounded off the team as sound-recordist and camera assistant respectively.
It was fun seeing the creative project come together – but what’s more, it was great hanging out on set. We worked a 14 hour day without a single complaint!
