“When asked if I wanted to be a part of this project, I thought of my friend Mikey and was lucky enough that he was into being the talent for the project. He and his place made the outcome better than I imagined. It was a very natural setting of him hanging out in his living room, playing records, reading, and hanging out. I was just there capturing the moment. We both enjoyed the gummies throughout the shoot too, which was nice.”
What elements did you focus on to translate your personal vision into a Deluxe Moment?
“Keeping it authentic and casual. When I think of Dad Grass, it brings me back to when I found a film canister filled with weed in my dad's garage. The brand does a great job of bringing you back in time, and I thought this setting was appropriate to enjoy some records and eat some gummies.”
What inspires you the most when you're behind the camera? Are there particular influences, styles, or environments that are essential to your work?
“I love to tell stories through video and photography. It's such a powerful tool we have to inspire and to be inspired. A lot of my work is shot on 35mm and Super 8 film; I love the way it looks and feels. It has a very nostalgic and warm feeling. I wish every project I created was shot on film. Being in nature is a huge inspiration to me. It's always special when I have the opportunity to create with a brand or individual that has some sort of connection to the land.”
Lastly, care to share your favorite Dad Joke?
“What do you call cheese that isn't yours? Nacho cheese.”
