What have you been doing since speaking at SP?
A lot! I’ve been very focused on team effort projects and creating art that caters towards the developing world of viral media.  I’m personally contributing to this by building a company workshop full of creatives that can organize and execute almost any artistic endeavor.  It’s very inspiring.

What would you say is the most significant moment of your career to this date?
Having my mother live through a series of open-heart surgeries while still maintaining a sharp sense of humor.  She’s inspiring, and the experience is allowing me to approach new work in a new and refreshing light.  

Client work or personal work?
Client work has been great.  I recently shot the new cover story of Emily Blunt and that was a lot of fun.  We also did T.I’s album packaging, which was a great experience.
My new book excites me a lot, I feel like it’s the best thing I’ve done.  I’m in a very peaceful place right now, and my new book is very reflective of my new perspective on life.  

Have you been directing of late?
August 1st I’m shooting a music video for Universal Music, which I’m looking very forward to.  
I am up to direct a couple upcoming films, its really just about timing it inside what I’m doing.  

Favorite part about living in LA?
The weather, the ocean, and prices per square foot.
