My friend Will Rummel Photographed.
Served as DP for my friend Hank.
I served as cinematographer for a music video directed by my friend Hank Shin. The whole crew was made up of some of my close friends and we had a blast making it. The circle matte idea came from a film the director and I both love “I Am Not Madame Bovary”. We hope we did the idea justice. It was a lot of fun.
