DARE was honored at Sundance!

Adam Salky's first feature film, DARE, was nominated for the Grand Jury prize for Drama at the 2009 Sundance film festival, and I was lucky enough to be a part of this incredible production last year.

Filming over the summer went well - despite incredible bad luck with the weather (it rained almost every day they were meant to film outside). I think that things went so well partly due to everyone's enthusiasm for the project, but also because of the outstanding performances by the cast. My very first day on set Emmy Rossum was performing an incredibly high stress scene - and she nailed it for every take (despite having to go from happy to tears take after take). It's talent like hers that makes me realize that not everyone can act - we just think we can because they make it look so easy.

Here are a few of my images that have been used in the DARE marketing campaign.
