The recent WNBA match between the LA Sparks and Las Vegas Aces marked another successful event, with Rush Media trucks on site. Marty Martin Tarr took on producing and directing duties for the Vegas broadcast, while I handled switching responsibilities. Meanwhile, Jerry Weinstein and TD Dana Hack Villa worked in tandem on the LA side. We were also joined by esteemed Director/TD John Powell from Crypto, a great friend and colleague, who stopped by to lend his support. The evening's lineup was truly star-studded.

As a director/ technical director, it’s not often I get to have a dedicated TD working alongside me, so when Producer Tony C and Paleyfest gave someone to button mash my panels while I directed..I had the pleasure of having a seasoned TD John Powell cut the two show.
The rest of my crew covering “Scrubs” & “Friends And Neighbors “ made the production flawless.
