“We couldn't have made this commercial without our training at SCA,” commented writer/director/editor JR Burningham. “One of the many unspoken benefits of film school are the friends you make who become fellow craftsmen in your future projects. We all raise each other up."
The production team includes writer/director/editor Burningham ‘09; producer Ortbals ‘09 cinematographer Jonathan Barenboim; production sound Shannon Latimer '10; first assistant camera Jonathan Bernbaum '08, post design and mix Patrick Knipe '09; and gaffer Adam Goral.
