Great day again on the set of This Is Not A Draft. Today we talked to Karen and Melvin Cruz and heard their stories of service and falling in love in Iraq in the middle of a war. #thisisnotadraft #documentary #artofdocumentary

Had a great day on set today with #ThisIsNotADraft crew, love capturing these Veterans’ stories.

Big thanks to the crew for coming out!

Filmed this past weekend at the WWII and Vietnam Memorials. Rain isn't great for cameras, but it is great for images. The Vietnam memorial was weeping when we were there last Friday, it feels very apropos with everything going on right now. #thisisnotadraft #veteranstories #artofdocumentary

For my filmmaker friends out there, what tools besides shot deck are you using for pre-vis/shot lists?

I’ve been doing a combo of #shotdeck and #midjourney but I’m curious what other options I’m missing. #veterandocumentaries #thisisnotadraft
