Thank you all for the Birthday wishes especially my amazing Wife who brought a tear to my eye with her post… and also to those who reached out about the trial/my testimony. I got a bunch of industry folks who reached out to show support, a lot of whom I don’t know personally and I am humbled by all the love.

Here is a link or you can just search rust trial day 6 afternoon on YouTube and a few options come up. The commentary that some include is actually kinda entertaining and lightens the mood a bit. Anyways thanks again it was quite the bday week.

Hey Guys/Gals so I've kinda got the bug here to do something big with our YouTube channel. I've noticed that there really isn't very much information available online coming from Union Hollywood Key Grips. Probably because we are usually too busy working 80hrs a week but I thought while I have the time now that the trailer is done for the most part I want to try and get some information together for the up and coming grips out there who are trying to get their careers off the ground.

We will have various videos on specific rigs including flyswatters, car mounts, truss rigs ect. As well as general information and best practices on everything from everyday must have skills to those few and far between things that make you stand out

I will also be doing spotlight interviews with some of the big Key Grips in Hollywood that do a lot of the major motion pictures as well as the commercial Key Grips who are focused primarily on advertising and music videos.

I'd like to thank you for your support in this endeavor, everyone who subscribes helps to further this lofty goal so Thank You!
