When people ask me what I love most about production, I never seem to have just one answer.

It's probably because I really love everything in the process. I really love casting. Picking the right cast makes a spot. The wrong cast destroys it. I really love editing. Watching an idea come to life with a few touches of a keyboard always amazes me. I really love scoring a piece of film. Music sets the tone of the spot and brings it to life. I really love color correction. I really love location scouting. I love the give and take with directors. I even love putting on supers and recording supermarket tags and crawling into a van and driving forever to who knows where to find the perfect donut shop exterior. I really love it all, and I especially love it when it challenges me.

I always tell people I’ve got the best job out there. And I do. I’m one of the lucky ones.
