Back in June I was sent on assignment to interview New York Jets Head Coach, Rex Ryan on the set of Adam Sandler’s latest film “I Hate you Dad”. In the film Ryan plays a shady, hack attorney that Sandler’s character goes to seeking legal advice. The “catch” is that the boastful Jets coach plays a Boston sports fan, who has New England Patriots memorabilia scattered all over his office.

Filming took place in Lynn, Massachusetts. The set was constructed inside of a small corner pizza parlor that had been renovated into Ryan’s character’s office. I don’t care what Patriots fans have to say…Rex Ryan is awesome. He was a great interview, and a really nice guy. Don’t get me wrong, I love Bill Belichick…but I’d play my ass of for Ryan if I was in the NFL. Side note: Rex is an appropriate name for that guy, as in like a T-Rex. I’m 6 foot 2, and he towered over me…plus he’s well…huge.

A while back I posted about getting a chance to meet and interview Alan Covert who I am sure you know from one of my favorite comedys “Grandma’s Boy”. Covert is one of the writers of “I Hate You Dad”. I saw him walking around on set and asked to interview him. He’s a great guy, and we spoke for awhile afterwards about a number of projects he is working on. Interviewing Ryan and Sandler rates as 6 or 7 for me. Interviewing the genius behind “Grandma’s Boy”…that’s a solid 10.

Proud to announce that production is complete on Prospect Hill’s music video for their new single “Come Alive”.

The band released the video today, after having a private viewing party last night in Lowell, MA.

I was the Director, Producer, and Editor for the video, but without the talents of Director of Photography, Tom Guilmette, and Assistant Director, Bill Travers, the video wouldn’t have been a success.

Check out the video, and check back for my blog on the making of the video, and in the weeks to come a behind the scenes video of the making of “Come Alive” will be released.

Tonight I attended Prospect Hill’s video release party for their new music video “Come Alive” at the Lowell Brewery in Lowell, MA. I was the Director and Producer for this video. The guys from Prospect Hill are amazing guys to work with, and have a special place in my heart…since the picked up my tab for the evening! Cheers guys! Great night!

I know you can’t see it here but the large crowd was able to watch the video on two large screens. Great response to the video from everyone there.

Adam Fithian, lead singer of Prospect Hill, called me up on stage to say thanks and have me say a few words about making the video after it played for the crowd. Totally put on the spot!

After the video debuted Prospect Hill took the stage to play an acoustic set. Great night for these guys. I am really happy for them, and hope big things are coming their way. Cheers.

I have been approached by one of Boston’s biggest bands on the rise PROSPECT HILL to Direct/Produce their new music video for their latest single “Come Alive”. I am stoked to announce I will be working with this incredible band over the next few weeks to film their newest music video.

Filming will take place in the last 2 weeks of October. Look for a release sometime in November.

As, always my good friend and one of the best DP’s on the east coast, Tom Guilmette will be behind the lens for this shoot.

I am also pleased to announce that MTV’s “The Challenge” star Cara Maria Sorbello is slated to star in this video.

I’d tell you what we where up to…but you’re just going to have to wait.

Back in July I had the pleasure of spending a couple days filming a feature on skateboard legend Andy MacDonald in Ocean City, MD as he competed at the first stop on the Dew Tour. Andy is one of the most genuine individuals and talented athletes I have ever interviewed. Take a look at the man known as “Andy Mac”.
