“So damn stoked our amazing 100 Foot Wave cinematography team took the win at last nights Emmy awards! Also, huge congrats to all the other nominees. What an honour to even be in the conversation with you all.
“Having validation on this level feels amazing, but the real rewards are in the process. I feel truly lucky and grateful to be able to meet, witness and document inspiring people doing inspiring things, and have an amazing wife in @ritaroup and family enabling me to do it. It’s a huge team effort. Thank you @mcnamara_s, @andrew_cotty @justwhite and all the other people for opening that door to us, which I know is not always easy.
Biggest thanks to our incredible director Chris Smith who’s work I truly admire, our amazing producer @joelewis and the team at @amplifypics, our gifted writer @thezachshow, the amazing edit team Alex Bayer, Alex Keipper and @qobrienla who have to make sense of the 1000’s of hours of footage we send, and all the other incredible people that weave the tapestry of this show together. I am what I am because of who we all are.”
