The Overview
Andrew Gernhard at Synthetic Cinema International brought me in to shoot the electronic press kit (EPK) for Soul Santa, a 2021 BET+ holiday film produced by Brainstorm Media. I worked with producer Nicole Guenthard to film interviews with the lead and supporting cast, including David and Tamela Mann. The Christmas tree and fireplace gave the interviews a consistent backdrop, and I also captured behind-the-scenes footage on set.
I also worked as a second-unit camera operator on the film.
