Tell us about your Telly Award winning piece. What’s the story behind it?

My best friend and creative partner, Greg Browning, was battling ALS. Doctors told him he had less than six months to live.
We’d spent our lives creating — pushing boundaries, doing things just because they felt right, not because there was a budget. So when his health began to decline, I knew I wanted to do something meaningful that captured the spirit of what we’d always shared.
Partnering with VEFA Gallery, where I was exhibiting at the time, we organized a community art fundraiser to honor Greg. Greg is a legend — locally and globally — both as a surfer and as a filmmaker. We invited the community to come together, make art, and leave messages that would live on forever as a tribute to his life and creativity.

To build the foundation, I edited a 2.5-minute sequence of Greg surfing, drawn from several of his most iconic films. We printed 3,000 individual frames from that sequence and laid them out at the gallery. Guests were given pens, brushes, and paint — free to draw, write, and add their touch to each frame.

After the event, I scanned all 3,000 pieces by hand — a long couple of days — then cleaned and organized them by printed timecode. Two weeks later, I reassembled the images into a final edit for the closing of the Art of Surf show at VEFA Gallery.
The resulting film became a living artwork — a mosaic of thousands of hands celebrating one life.

It went on to win a Gold Collision Award and Silver and Bronze Telly Awards, but more importantly, it captured the heart of a community united by art, surf, and love for a friend who inspired everyone around him.

What are you most proud of about this piece? What was your biggest challenge during production and how did you solve it?

This was the combination of ideas, friendship, passion and giving. Greg gave everything to a project, which made anything we worked on that much better. To get the chance to give him our 100% back in his time of need was heartbreaking and fulfilling all at once.

Do you have any advice to other filmmakers based on your career or your team’s approach to work?

Try things, look at the world around you, there is endless inspiration, and most of all…
“Be cool to everyone.” – Greg Browning

Can you share a behind the scenes story or fun fact about the making of your piece?

The biggest challenge was how to accomplish it. Both getting the word out and getting people to show, to the painting and drawing on of over 3000 images. In the end, the solution was, print them, get them drawn on over the 9 hour party and then the next two weeks. Scan all 3000 in after putting back into order. Then editing it all together. insane to say the least. so much manual repetitive labor.

Tell us about the most memorable response you got from this work.

Seeing the community response, the love and respect from everyone is reflected in the finished work. and… Greg gave the finished piece his blessing… he was my biggest fan, always saying just the right thing when we were on our second all nighter. Getting the chance to do something for him, was everything.
