I co-produced a video and photo shoot for Garrison Bros Whiskey here in Austin, teaming up with All Ages Productions. Michael Dwornik led the creative direction, with Charlie Pearce on video. We split our time between two standout spots: the historic Driskill Hotel downtown and the Garrison Bros distillery out in Hye, TX. The shoot had some fun, unexpected elements—a horse, a vintage car—that added real personality to the scenes. Brie Neumann, my go-to stylist, handled all the quirky styling asks like a pro. She kept things calm and on track, even with the more unusual setups. We packed a lot into those few days. Between the locations, the talent, and the props, we ended up with a strong mix of visuals that really capture the spirit of the Garrison Bros brand. It was a fast-moving shoot with a great crew, and I’m proud of what we pulled off. [ps, I never got a copy of the video edit, but I keep asking]
