It's not often you get a change to work on a meaningful documentary, right in your own backyard.

I'm glad to have been pulled into this one, even if it was for just a few days.

From its founding in Chicago in 1895 to its bankruptcy in 1992, Schwinn provided kids and adults with a freewheeling freedom like they had never had before. Now thirty years removed from the company’s mysterious collapse, the ...

A lot of the time, I'm brought in to help execute a DP’s or Director's vision. In fact, 98% of the time that seems to be true.

This piece with G.B.'s TE Tucker Kraft was no different.

This had a lot of moving parts.
Very little time with the talent based on his schedule.
A new DP to work with.
Cameras and gear that were all rented.

I was fortunate enough to help out as second camera and AC.

Dig into this one. It's fun.
