Last night at 2am central time, Head Bangers Ball was hosted by Dave Peters from Throwdown. During the segment they released 2 of 12 videos I had completed from Throwdown’s latest album “Deathless.” First of all, if you haven’t picked up the album, please do so. It is an incredible album I still find myself jamming to regardless of hearing the entire album hundreds of times, during the film process! The videos were the first thing I have ever directed that hit national television. Funny story…I didn’t even get to watch them. Cable was not working at the house, it was an epic failure to say the least. However, even knowing the videos were playing and being viewed my heart was racing.
With these films I wanted to say thank you to all of you who helped. It isn’t enough just saying thank you. We filmed the entire project in ONE week. Some of you flew across the states and some of you drove for hours to be a part. Some of you sacrificed a lot just to lend a hand and make my job that much easier. I still shake my head in disbelief knowing how much we accomplished with our budget and time. I learned so much from this project, not only about filming “whats the quickest way to get a dolly shot without a dolly”…but how much I truly love what I am blessed in doing daily. How much I am surrounded with others who absolutely love what they do. How to work under pressure. How to stay positive and be productive when Mr. Worst Case Scenario comes knocking down your door. We had a couple of those moments, but we still came out on top and had, what I consider, one of the best weeks of my life.

Due to time constraints, the episodes played on TV weren’t even color corrected. Some other things were nixed as well due to it not meeting television standards. I will let you all know when the finished versions are viewable!
Thanks to everyone who stayed up late to watch and for all your texts and messages of encouragement. It was VERY inspiring.
The final videos will be out eventually but I just wanted to thank every again for all your help.
Throwdown, E1, and Ryan Downey, thank you for giving me the opportunity and taking on such a different project. I will never forget it.
My dad told me this quote recently in light of this project….It couldn’t be any more true.
