Another Texas Film Awards event with Austin Film Society in the books. This is my 14th year volunteering with AFS and it’s been a true honor. Every year is an adventure and an opportunity to work with fantastic people. AFS has such a great team!! 👏🏽

Meeting and chatting with Julian Schnabel, Kyle Chandler, Sydney Chandler & Gabriel Luna was such a gift. All generous and genuine. Fun Fact: Sydney Chandler and I worked on a project together called SKAM Austin. We never met on set, but had a good chat about it.

Also, it was the 25th anniversary reunion of the Spy Kids movie with cast in attendance. Very cool reunion!! 👌🏾

Hope to complete year 15 in 2027 with this amazing organization. Can’t wait!! 😉🎬🙏🏽

Wow! What an amazing end to Feb 2026 and start to March 2026. The last two days in Feb were spent on set - A Friday evening night shoot on West UT campus with the talented former UT RTF Alum Henry(our director), Austin (plays Anthony) & former UT RTF grad Luke (plays Coyote) for the indie film project, COYOTE. Five hours later on Saturday, I had an early call time for a sweet commercial project that shot in Georgetown (thankfully). I needed that stroke of luck and extra sleep in time. 🍀 💤

Finally on March 1st, I had the opportunity of checking another band off my bucket list, Nine Inch Nails

PRETTY HATE MACHINE was introduced to me in college (‘91) and I’ve been a NIN fan ever since. Beginning to end, it’s one of my go-to albums. The show was loud, amazing and exactly what I expected. Pure Trent Reznor magic!! I’ll create a separate post with my videos. They will not disappoint.

Easily one of my Top 5 all-time concerts I’ve ever attended!! 🙏🏽✊🏽🎧🎤
