Data/Details

From swimming/filming with Giant Trevallies to shooting macro shots of an Elderly Vietnamese fisherman’s Cataracts as he prepped his net for the next morning. This film really took me out of my comfort zone and into some intense areas and environments around the globe. As I reflect back on this experience. It was truly unworldly at times. Bottom line: I gave it everything I had and I feel the film and environments speak for itself.
