Pretty wild to spend the day shooting interviews related to America’s 250th anniversary in a room steeped with history and still be home in time for dinner. Carpenters Hall was the site of the First Continental Congress, home to Ben Franklin’s Library and, as it turns out, a pretty cool place to shoot interviews 250 years later. Only downside is there is no elevator for loading gear to the 2nd floor library :)

Got a chance to walk down to the Toronto waterfront this morning and do a little journaling. Thinking about all the places I’ve gotten to go because of my job in video production. The people I’ve gotten to work with, the moments I’ve been able to capture, the cities I’ve visited (and the hotels I would never be able to afford to stay in if the client wasn’t putting me up lol).

5-15-25 is kind of an interesting date. I’m ruminating on it as it relates to progression and incremental growth. 5….15… 25…

Most of my life I’ve assumed “growth” meant “more”, but now I wonder if it’s not about something else entirely. Things like gratitude, presence and perspective.

I’m grateful to have a job I don’t hate. I’m grateful for the clients who continue to hire me. I’m grateful for the talented crew I get to work with. I’m grateful for my wife/life partner who holds down the fort when I’m traveling for work.

After years of spreading myself too thin, things are starting to come into focus. I’m currently looking for someone to take over the lease on the rental studio at Bok (let me know if you know someone!) and I’m going to be focusing on my corporate and event-video work as well as documentary projects.

The mewithoutYou “End of the End” Director’s Cuts are coming out next year. I’ve dusted off the Cheesesteak City project for the umpteenth (and final!) time. I have a good book of repeat corporate clients. Life is good.

Time keeps marching on, but I’m stopping to smell the roses.

This photo series is a reminder that it’s all about perspective, and choosing which direction you want to look. (PS he was just using the boardwalk as a bathroom, he didn't appear to be on drugs or else I wouldn't have posted)

Onward, with gratitude. 5-15-25

Philadelphia’s City Hall is the largest municipal building in the country and the largest free-standing masonry building IN THE WORLD, but today it was happy to just be a pretty sweet backdrop for an executive interview 🎥 🏙️ ☀️

Check out this fun Behind The Scenes video put together by Michael Balan our recent collaboration with BiFocal Creative creating :15 second ads for AWeber

This was a bigtime Bok collaboration, using locations in the building (Occasionette and Crisco and Frisco), as well as fellow tenants Dragonfly Audio Post for sound, Jeremy Keys as the talent and of course Mike Gallagher and Blake Eichenseer from BiFocal as Director of Photography and Key Grip respectively. We were also fully caffeinated by Two Persons Coffee and had lunch from Miles Table and used Hella Vista Studios for hair and makeup and as a general touchdown space. What an awesome community to be a part of!

Swipe right for the final videos (or just hang out on YouTube or Instagram long enough to get the videos served up to you organically).

Arsenal Mediaworks

At Arsenal Mediaworks, we pride ourselves on our ability to work with incredibly diverse clients on equally diverse projects, from pharmaceutical marketing content and online MBA classes to non-profit fundraisers and punk music videos.

In the summer of 2018 we moved the business from its first home, a two-story garage, to a beautiful, sun-drenched studio in the Bok building. We're thrilled to be working alongside a community of creatives that allows us to easily collaborate with some of the best talent in Philadelphia.

Whether we're shooting on location or here in our studio at Bok, we believe the production process should be fun and painless.
