It’s fun to work in showbiz, especially when there’s actually work. I try to capture the moments that feel like I’d imagined Hollywood would be, like when someone would clap a slate in front of me.
Of course, I didn’t imagine that that someone would be looking at me sideways, that I’d be shooting a commercial for Mercury Insurance and about to enter a hotel wearing a hidden camera, but hey… that’s the magic of the dream factory.
Look for the spot later this summer.
