I am a cinematographer and steadicam operator in eastern Tennessee. Being part of the collaborative process is one of the more rewarding aspects of my job.

You can't tell every story and still sleep at home. Travel is a key part of what I do, and often a big part of the planning for a project. AdventistHealth, primarily on the west coast has hospitals in very rural areas like on the Mendocino Coast, CA, and giant metropolitan areas like Glendale CA. This project was telling the story of the comparable level of care one would receive in a rural hospital with the support of a system like AdventistHealth. It was great to meet the people in those areas, and see the work they do for their patients.

I've only lived where snow is rare. Here in the south we might get a couple inches once a year. (except for random years where 3in shuts down the city and ) So we travel to where it snows. Sometimes that is a long way away, like Zermatt Switzerland. Other times it's on this continent, up in maple syrup land, but where milk comes in bags. (Wellington Ontario) But each time we enjoy the change.
We have time to recalibrate, to focus on different things, and add some texture to our lives. I still think about filmmaking and visual storytelling and love that part. We sit and watch the snow, all while we know we don't need to buy a snowplow, because I'm married to someone from northern Minnesota, and she LOVES shoveling snow. (not a joke. loves it)

Let’s bend reality!
It’s all about people.
Well, people and bending reality. When you first met that person you fell in love with, or came over the hill and saw the most beautiful landscape, or visited that cute farmers market in a small town. We remember it differently than it was. We glamorize things, and add details that were not there because that moment was special to us.
Filmmaking is like that for me. It is a strange career. I want to shoot a scene or moment in a way that makes it special. Makes it memorable. Sometimes reality is what we’re looking for, so just a pretty scene is enough. Other times we pull out all the stops to make reality something just a bit more memorable.
