A couple of years ago, I got a call from my friend Paris Vizzoni, the great photographer and director, asking me if I was available and if she could give my number to her friend Dan Catullo. Catullo and his production team are unbelievable. If you know, you know. Dan calls me and tells me he's making a documentary for the Hollywood Vampires and he needs a videographer to follow Johnny Depp, Alice Cooper, and Joe Perry. To be honest, I've done this a million times and it shouldn't be a big deal, but it's Johnny Depp. One of my jobs was to film them pulling into the venues and getting out of their cars, limos, their drivers, whatnot. So I was kind of like, you know, paparazzi style fighting for shots. It was, it was actually dope. But one of the defining moments for me personally was I got Johnny coming out of his, his car. There was this young girl and she was crying and he took the time to get right up to her and get a photo. And, and I just happened to be like filming right in front of them and that was pretty dope. Johnny Definitely different. I'd say he's clearly a special human. Alice Cooper, amazing, super kind, loves golf. And Joe Perry might be a real vampire, not sure, kind of seemed that way. He was awesome. But what an experience filming a band at that level, at that caliber, where the show is set up to perfection with the lighting and all the props and all the things that go on. It's just It's amazing. I love doing it. It never gets old. But I will definitely tell you, Hollywood Vampires stood out in my mind as one of the coolest jobs I've ever done, simply because they're truly epic. They're big time. And it was, it was cool to be in that for a minute. Yeah.
