Thought I’d share some recent photos taken of me in the last month. The first is from my trip down to DC for the screening of my documentary, Up Heartbreak Hill. Rosie (my lady!) and I finally got to meet the kids in the film. It was a surreal experience because although I am a complete stranger to them, I feel like I know these kids. That’s what happens after spending a year watching 250+ hours worth of footage of someone’s life.
The second photo is from the Storm Chasers Season 4 premiere party. The gang from TVN (Reed, Joel, & Chris) who drive The Dominator on the show were there. This photo was taken with Reed before the evening got a little blurry.
Hey DC Tumblrs…come see my film!
After your workout on Sunday morning, come to a screening of my feature documentary, Up Heartbreak Hill. It will be shown as part of the National Geographic All Roads Film Festival at 1pm. After the screening, I’ll be doing a Q&A with the director and the three kids featured in the film. Stop by and say “Hello!”

Here’s what the film is about:
Up Heartbreak Hill chronicles the lives of three Native American teenagers in Navajo, NM — Thomas, an elite runner, Tamara, an academic superstar, and Gabby, an aspiring photographer — as they navigate their senior year at a reservation high school.
As graduation nears, they must decide whether or not to stay in their community — a place inextricably woven into the fiber of their being. They hesitate to separate from their families, traditions, and the community that helps define them, and they wrestle with the idea of becoming the next generation to lead the Navajo Nation. Their battles to shape their identities as both Native American and modern American lie at the heart of the film.
Photographic evidence that I’m a dancing fool!
So I’ve decided that I have nothing to lose in posting these OLD FAT PHOTOS…because I’ve already lost it! The weight, that is ;-)
