after wrapping up one crazy film in NY, we flew off to jamaica for a week to shoot serena + len’s wedding. we are getting some nice r+r time here while we plan for our visit to LA and san fran for a wedding and a workshop. we will be in LA next weekend for jennie + howard’s wedding (so so excited…) and then we are flying to san fran to get ready for our workshop at calumet. it is kinda like a little mini-evolution experience. those who came last october know first hand just how much trouble we had fitting everything into the 3 days we had (and thats with going from 10am to 11-12PM every day). for calumet, we are going to try and bring it all together in 3 hours. as tiffen/steadicam is putting on the event, we will also be highlights how their products have helped us (and that means a live demo of the flyer and tiffen Dfx).

if you have some time monday november 23rd, come visit myself, konrad, and amina at calumet. i do believe there are still some spots available for the 3 hour workshop, and the cost is $295 per person. i have attached an idea of what we are looking to cover (though perhaps a little ambitious).

here is a link to their site for more info and/or to register.
