🎥🎬 career highlights: directing Sabrina Carpenter! that's that me directo ☕️ - had the pleasure of directing, DP'ing, and editing Sabrina's exclusive concert for Samsung X Billboard, thanks to Riverside Entertainment! She debuted the tracks from her newest album ahead of her "Emails I Can't Send Tour" and I had my dream team of friends to capture it. I also went home and edited/colored the entire 1 hour concert in 2 hours total, with no revision notes, because @magix Vegas is the best editing software to ever exist 😌 Production Company | @riverside.ent Client | @billboard @samsungmobileusa Talent | @sabrinacarpenter Head of Production | @ernouri Producer | @conorkbailey Production Manager | @nickcortes Director + DP | 😎 1st AC | @jenny.baumert 1st AC | @mikescottjustin 2nd AC | @officialzion.la Camera Op | @djworks Camera Op | @alejandroechevarria.film Camera Op | @themerlinshow Camera Op | @scrappersa Jib Op | @danielhagouel Photo | @alfredoflores Addtl Editing + Data Manager | @adamk7861 Sound Mixer | @nathanalef VTR | @jarrodbutler PA Office | Holden Harris AD | Chrissy Mitchell PA Truck | Miguel Jaramillo PA Set | Taylor Strachan PA Set | Ben Math
