From an idea birthed by to impeccable choreography by my favorite choreographer,, to camera direction by my new homie, to a production company that feels like a second home in, and a producer like who makes the impossible, possible — I still can't believe I get to do this kind of stuff sometimes.

The conversation was about budget and vision. How you hold both at the same time. And how you don’t let one quietly murder the other.
It was a good day.
Tom asked me what I do when a producer comes to me and says we need to cut five percent across the board.
I told them I had a better example.
I was shooting in LA not long ago. Big scene. Core to the film we were making. A recovery meeting that was supposed to take place in a beautiful gym with natural light pouring in. Then the budget got cut. We lost an entire day. The gym was gone. All we had left was a house and a white cyc on a sound stage.
I put it on the white cyc.
Then we were messing around with camera settings and our impeccable DP put the image in black and white on the monitor.
I just stopped.
It was more poetic than anything I had planned. More honest than the gym ever would have been. The constraint didn’t compromise the story. It found the story.
I talked about what years of site specific theatre training at did to my brain. Sometimes we were handed a space and had to find the story that lived there. Sometimes we were handed a story and had to go find the space. I had no idea at the time that I was learning the most important thing a director can carry.
The story always fits somewhere. Your job is to find where (within the given budget, location, etc.).
I also said that producers are my favorite people in this business. I mean that.
They take the dream a director or writer is walking around with and somehow turn it into something real. The moment a great producer comes on board, something shifts. The wind changes. I can’t explain it better than that.
The budget is not the enemy of the vision. Sometimes it’s literally the thing that finds it.
Be on Broadway.
But life is funny.
I was once offered a role in a Broadway show and turned it down to stay in a self-imposed grad school/recovery program in Seattle.
So that dream quietly folded up and I moved on.
Then last week, I found out my latest project with and was going to play on the big screens in Times Square. Having something you directed on those massive displays is a bucket list item for any director (or at least for this one).
So and I scrambled to grab a flight, sorted out neighbors to let them know the girls were going to be home for the day without us, and jumped on an early morning plane.
When we got there, we stood on the corner trying to figure out the cadence of ads cycling across the screens. About thirty minutes in, I started wondering if this little adventure had become a bust. The embarrassment of making the trip crept in.
And then…it appeared.
And I turned into a nine-year-old right there on the sidewalk.
Could you guess what street those screens were on?
That’s right. Broadway.
We finished the day watching our neighbor and friend in. After a quick chat in her dressing room, she let me wander out onto the stage for a moment.
Two dream moments in one day.
Life is funny...oh and did I mention kind of miraculous sometimes.
Introducing…
Overhead Originals — a new branded entertainment music series with x.
Episode 1 featuring the incomparable.
A Boeing 767. An Atlanta hangar. A full band. A live audience with their tray tables up.
covered it today and I think Leon said it best.
“Creative ideas like this help celebrate artists.”
Link in bio. Go watch it.
P.S. thank you to and for trusting me and for for throwing my name in the hat.
Been cast maybe fifty.
That’s not a good batting average.
And for most of my career I didn’t question the game.
You show up. You do your best. You wait for someone to choose you.
And then about a year ago I read.
And something unlocked.
Swipe to see what changed.
(And yes, fans. That is indeed me meeting the legendary T-Bag — aka — for the first time. Twenty years ago!!!!!)
It filled the stages. Employed the crews. Lit up the town.
And then it left.
3/4 of Georgia’s soundstages are sitting empty right now. A studio in Athens is being converted to a data center. Workers who made $9,500 a week are on food stamps.
I live across from. I’ve had the privilege of working on these stages and I can say they are some of the most beautiful production facilities in the world. But right now much of it is quiet.
Here’s what nobody is talking about.
The problem isn’t the stages.
The problem is who owns the stories.
For too long creatives like us have rented our talent to someone else’s vision. The check clears. The production wraps. And everything walks out the door with whoever booked the stage.
Swipe to see what we’re hoping to build...
Sunday night, and transformed the Dolby Theatre and into a garden.
Handcrafted trees. Golden hour light. A sanctuary built by human hands for the oldest reason humans have ever gathered.
To feel something together.
rebuilt the juke joint from Sinners on that stage. at 89... And then stepped forward. Dancing ballet. On pointe. In front of everyone.
Including. Front row.
Three weeks ago he said no one cares about ballet anymore.
No statement. No speech. Just presence.
Then came KPop Demon Hunters and a room full of stoic Hollywood adults who knew every word and wanted the glowing orb and let themselves be seven years old for three minutes.
This is what live experience does that nothing else can.
It has a temperature.
And while AI can generate. It can simulate. It can optimize. It cannot replace the moment when something made with human hands lands on a live audience and the whole place rises.
That’s not nostalgia. That’s the oldest argument for why humans gather at all.
Sunday night proved it again.
We were telling real stories of people from organizations like. Art directed. Theatrically staged. Real people dressed like they were walking the Met Gala. Most of them had never been on a movie set. Never been seen like this.
One of the most moving shoots of my career.
Midway through the day I realized I needed trees for a shot. Didn’t have the budget.
On lunch I grabbed a golf cart to get some air. Turned a corner past horses being prepped for a scene and a giant wind machine being tested and there they were. An oasis. A wall of green in a sea of concrete.
Belonged to the production next door.
I found a PA smoking by the trees. Asked if I could talk to his boss. He pointed to a truck. Man asleep at the wheel.
I knocked anyway. Stated my “do it for the kids” case.
He said yes.
That’s the video. The trees going back. Thanks to and her amazing team! 😁
Here’s what I keep thinking about. This shouldn’t feel remarkable. But it does. Someone just said yes. Shared what they had. No agenda.
I’ve watched too many people on both sides of the camera hoard connections and ideas like there’s only so much to go around. Guard relationships like they’re finite. As if generosity has a cost.
I’ve never found that to be true. Not once.
The best work I’ve ever been part of came from people who operated from abundance. Who gave before they knew what they’d get back. Who woke up from a nap and said yes to a guy asking for bushes.
Because the trees come back. They always do.
A while back, I spent a day with Diane and her daughter, Laura Dern, traversing New York City — from the Actors Studio, down Broadway, through Central Park, and ending at Tavern on the Green, where we surprised Diane with her own recipe for her famous banana pudding.
It was cold, rainy, and we were moving fast. Still, I remember this strange calm under it all. I was standing in the literal shrine of acting, directing two women who have given their lives to the craft — absolute warriors of the art form.
At one point, I told Diane about a script Margaret and I were working on, and she said, “Oh doll, you’re gonna send me that script when we’re outta here.”
At Tavern on the Green, she ordered shrimp cocktail. When she couldn’t finish it, she made me sit down beside her.
“We’re not gonna let this fancy food go to waste, are we???”
We talked on the phone a few times after that day — about projects, stories, life. She was kind, curious, and deeply encouraging.
So grateful to have shared that day with her.
Terribly sad to lose her.
What a life. What a light. ❤️
The gatekeepers aren’t just gone…they never saw this coming.
led a killer conversation with people who are already living in 2027.
Here are a few quotable moments…
— “Do everything as quickly as possible—then adjust as you go.”
While everyone’s chasing theatrical releases, his team is dropping heartfelt teen comedies on Hulu and sketch comedy on YouTube that racks up millions. Speed isn’t sloppiness—it’s how you find your voice before the committee kills it.
— “Fan engagement isn’t the side effect of the business—it is the business.”
We used to make the thing and then convince people to care. Now? The conversation is the content.
— “The future of storytelling is short, serial, and scrollable.”
He’s producing $200K vertical films that become $200M hits—one 90-second story at a time.
— “It’s the best and worst time to be a creator—if you’re not willing to learn.”
Freedom is intoxicating. The responsibility? Crushing.
— “When you put your work online, you’re no longer competing for a niche audience—you’re building a direct relationship.”
No middlemen. No permission. Just you and the people who care about what you’re making.
The old model: Perfect it, then ship it.
The new one: Ship it, then perfect it in public.
The future isn’t waiting—it’s already in production.
