Warm Fuzzies
One of the cool perks about shooting video is learning about something new in your own backyard. Dave Poyzer, Robb Moore and I recently had the pleasure of shooting a project for United Way of Central Iowa and one of the programs it supports: Conmigo Quality Early Learning Center. It’s the only bilingual preschool in the metro area, and it’s just a stone’s throw away from the 515 offices in the East Village. Who knew?
The program is an incredible resource for the community, giving parents the opportunity for their kids to grow up speaking two different languages and learning to appreciate other cultures. And it’s great to see organizations like the United Way promote diversity by supporting such a program. Not a bad way to spend a day on the job.
RED Shorts
We’ve had the RED EPIC for a month now and just can’t seem to put it down. I am a RED junkie. And instead of trying to kick the habit, we’ve decided to try to make playtime somewhat productive. So we’ve started producing what we’re calling “RED shorts”. Quick little videos of whatever subject presents itself during the course of a week. We’ll be posting them on the various social media feeds for your viewing pleasure. Hopefully they’ll serve as a 30-second pick-me-up during the daily grind. Please enjoy. And let us know if there’s something you’d like to see in a RED short.
Here’s the most recent RED short. Shot last week during the snowfall. I’m driving. Dave Poyzer is shooting. We’re both equally geeked out.

Freeride Entertainment recently entered “Where The Trail Ends” into the X-Dance Film Festival in Salt Lake City and walked away with the award for Best Cinematography. Since I was a part of the crew, this little gem just arrived in the office:
I was extremely excited to be on the crew, and now even more so. It’s a great testament to the level of passion and commitment that went into making literally the best bike movie ever made!
