Always a great time with friends! The 29th Annual was a huge success. I had the chance to reunite with old friends and make some amazing new ones along the way.

I’m incredibly grateful for all the love and support shown for and during the festival. Exploring the Shoals with such wonderful people made the experience even more memorable.

I also had a great time doing press with in Huntsville and Florence. Huge thanks to , , and for covering our film, and to , along with the festival’s programmers and staff, for putting together such a remarkable event.

There were so many fantastic projects at the festival, and I’m excited to see what these talented filmmakers do next in their careers.

Support the arts — it’s more important than ever.

These photos are from 2019, but I first attended in 2015. If you asked me what makes the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival so special, this would be my answer: it’s not just the films, the panels, or the awards. It’s the community.

The friendships I’ve formed through this festival have meant more to me than any film award ever could. We come from different backgrounds and hometowns, yet we always find common ground—far beyond film.

I’m grateful for the journey, excited to reunite with old friends, eager to meet new ones, and proud to celebrate everything we’ve accomplished together.

I’ll see you guys in March :)

I’m so excited to be going back to the Shoals in March for and showing this film I had the pleasure of being part of while reuniting with and as well as other film friends!

Come see our movie on March 5th at the George Lindsey UNA Film Festival!

2025. These are just a few highlights from my year :)

Here’s to 2026!

10 years ago, I was Adolfo Pirelli. A thriving entrepreneur and barber in London, and later a meat pie. lol It was a great time at the Shoals Theatre back in 2015.

I’d love to return to Fleet Street… one day.

Yesterday, Johnny Carson would’ve been 100 years old. Also, I turned 33. And my birthday buddy turned 66. I had a nice time with family and friends, and my girl made me a cookie cake. FYI, that’s my favorite kind of cake.

Thanks for all the love everybody!
