Driftless Nominated for Emmy

 
Driftless is a 30 min documentary about life in Rural Iowa.  I shot the film for friend and colleague, Danny Wilcox-Frazier.  It was a true labor of love and is an honor to see it nominated for an Emmy this year. 

If you haven't yet seen the film, you can watch it free online at Mediastorm

Doha





Last week I did some shooting in Doha, Qatar. A nation nestled between the Persian Gulf and Saudi Arabia. Qatar is a fascinating country. It has one of the highest GDP in the world and is developing at an blazing rate. July and August are very hot and humid there which made for one of the most challenging shooting environments I have encountered yet. On our second day I was informed that it was 120˚F in the shade.
