Around SBN: 2011 In Extreme Home Runs

This has nothing to do with Spurs basketball: Part 3

First off, I'm sorry for not being around as much as I should. I've been bogged down with shoots and events at work. I know, I know, that's a pretty shitty excuse but that's the card I'm playing. Forgive me.

Secondly, as proof that I have been working and at the request of jollyrogerwilco, I'm posting a link to a recent short piece that I directed. Now before you get all excited about the possibility of The Traveler: Part 2, You must know that this video is not that. 

I had the privilege to work with a Non-profit organization who helps people with HIV/AIDS get back on their feet and rebuild their lives. I met a man named Thomas who is an inspiration to me and to many other people. He was willing to share his personal story with me and allow me to tell his journey though my lens. This video is designed to raise money for Samaritan House so they can in turn help more people like Thomas. Basically, they asked us to create one of those "ESPN Sad Stories" that you see every Sunday afternoon. In the industry, this is known as a "heartstrings" video.

Great work, man. That’s impressive and a great story. Your shots and lighting and atmosphere really created the mood and the tone, and gave the story even more of an impact. Keep us in the loop on your work!

CMoney, thanks for sharing that with us. That’s a true +1, no joke.

Well done.
