December 18, 2009

Grant Harder: It’s been a full week of trips to the lab, stock submissions and assisting. I’m not sure how many times I’ve been to The Lab (no really, it’s called The Lab) in the last few weeks…but it’s a lot. This isn’t a complaint by any means as I am really happy with the [...]

A Year in the Life Project in Which Jaime Sounds like a Film Hater and Grant Takes his Camera to Breakfast

Jaime Hogge: There was a lot going on this week again, but unfortunately none of it involving any jobs or shooting in general. I spent a large amount of time on the phone this week, which was a change from the large amount of time I usually spend emailing. I guess that’s what it used [...]
