This spot was created for the Goodwill Industries.  You may know of them for some of that eclectic, vintage gear you may have stumbled upon from inside their used clothing bins, or copped that sofa to furnish your first apartment.  Anyway, they do a lot of other really cool things too.  Take for example this spot:  Goodwill has an after school program and some kids from the Farragut Housing Projects in Brooklyn are members of this amazing program.  They worked in my crew as grips, gaffers, production assistants and even did some camera operating.  The kids wanted to illustrate some of the fly, alternative ways young people can spend their spare time to making that cash. Enjoy the PSA!

Lately, I have been traveling up and down the coast shooting videos, and a couple weeks ago I found myself in Boston to shoot the “Money Money” video for Young Riot, a new artist signed to Amalgam Digital. I was looking forward to this shoot as this was the first video I have done for an artist who is as young as I am. Young Riot is a good dude and I know we will be collaborating again in the future as we are both up and comers in the industry. Shout out to Kris Layng and Evan Wunsch for the help on set, and a special shout out to Next, Joe, and Tania at Amalgam Digital for putting everything together and letting me turn something that was originally supposed to be a street video into something much more!
