Mariachi Gringo

Even though Chicago is the closest big production city to me, I had not any work there until I got a call from my friend and 'Higher Ground' UPM James McKay about Mariachi Gringo. MG was a unique opportunity to work on a film that was shooting a week near Chicago and then moving down to Mexico for the remainder of the schedule.

Unfortunately I did not get to travel down to Mexico for the larger chunk of the film, but while near Chicago I got to work with some music video style playback scenes, a crowded dinner conversion, and some upper midwestern Illinois wind.

I got to meet a whole new group of Chicago based film makers who I hope I get the opportunity to work with again. I am excited to see the final project and follow how the work I did near Chicago connects with the stuff that was done in Mexico.
