You guessed it- the product that no one asked for but is now chomping at the bits to get their hands on: the double-insulated, “Tito’s…in a can”. Tito’s approached A&L with the idea, with a tight timeline, to which we said “hell yeah let’s do it.” All shot in house and with local talent, and with an awesome team.

POST. SEASON…ING! This was a fun one for more reasons than one, but perhaps mostly for the scrappiness of its nature. We shot it and cut it local to Richmond, which was really cool. I showed up to the set as the “editor on set”, which quickly turned into me marking slates, squeegee-ing a milk/glue concoction and filling up beer-bongs with seasoning in-between takes. So yeah, scrappy, which is the shit I love.

Shew boy. I’m not gonna lie, this was the most creatively-draining project that I’ve worked on to date. We set out to make a seven-minute music video…with no narrative…and not saying much anything in particular. So the challenge lied heavily on the editing portion, and the constant question of “how can we make this interesting enough and hold the viewer’s attention for the entirety”. So, difficult. All of that said, I think the final product was interesting, and the song is definitely a certified “bop”.
