This site is published to feature ongoing "behind-the-scenes" work, toward manifesting art and commerce as homogenous enterprises. I want to live by means of making videos. Events. Businesses. Families. Weddings. Conferences. Family reunions. A showcase for the beautiful people, places and circumstances in which I find myself.
NB: I'm selective about the folks with whom I work. If you hire me, I get to do whatever I want. No restrictions beyond budget.
PROCESS: Making an Instant Documentary involves inserting myself in your life for a day or a week or two weeks. Depends on how open you are and how much time you've got. I can make something equally beautiful and appropriate in five minutes as five days.
My lenses and microphones find believable, shareable beauty, but you must participate in its creation. You must trust me to show you in a favorable light. One of the skills I've been blessed with is the capacity to bring out certain intimate qualities in just about anyone.
COST: If I can't find motion pictures or sound to make your business human, you don't have to pay. In the interim, however, you've had the pleasure of my company, fed and housed me. None of that is refundable.
You gotta have a budget or something great to offer - if not money, then a house in the mountains or at the beach in the off-season, a solid contact, a skill to share, advertising, credit with your business - to offer.
Be forewarned: When I come to you, I will insert myself in your work and life in meaningful ways. No bullshit. You have to let me be part of it.
Then, we'll get the multimedia up on the net and your customers will find you interesting and compelling.
$5000 (in cash or kind) / week plus expenses, payable at the end of the shoot. If you don't pay, I simply stay until I've got value in hand.
This is an "interview" of a couple of colleagues whose names I do not utter, as some of the people with whom I come in contact are wary of the press. In this way, trust is built; the indirect approach is often preferred.
