‘The Handoff’ is a silent short film about spies, thieves, vampires, assassins, bartenders, and sad men. From director Morgan Bass, of Very Cool Videos (of whom I also shot ‘Coffee Guy‘ and ‘Gancho‘).

// This was done throughout a few nights and a couple of locations – bar, apartment, hallway, alleyway, restaurant, parking lot, bathroom, etc. With some much-needed pre-production scouting, we were able to put things together in a schedule that made sense and best used our time in the end.
For a team, I brought on Robert Felker and Jessica Lynn, along with the gang from VCV and cast to assist. I graded the film which turned out as a colorful fun project to be involved with and watch. //
