Tonight, I finally get to see @theironorchardfilm, at the @lonestarfilmfest!!! It’s supposed to be a packed house, tonight! I was the #KeyGrip on the Film, though I started as #BestBoyElectric, a weird jump but one that was needed to help make the film. If you’re able to attend, have a badge, or know someone to get tix from; you should be at the @amctheatres Palace Theater in downtown #FortWorth, before it’s showtime at 7pm. The movie has had plenty of great reviews at other festivals, and is sure to be great! #LoneStarFilmFestival #LSFF18 #FilmTexas #TexasFilm #MakingMovies #TheIronOrchard #TheIronOrchardFilm #WildCatters (at Lone Star Film Festival) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bp-CQX5H2Lo/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=zmi0bq267rkd

My #iPhone pic I posted on #Instagram, from the set of #TheIronOrchard, made it into the #TexasMonthly article about the #film!!! "The Making of ‘The Iron Orchard’: Brushes with Fame and Fortune in the West Texas Oil Patch". I came in as the #BestBoyElectric at the beginning of the movie and became the #KeyGrip part way through. This #Epic #PeriodFilm, set across the mid 1900's during the #OilBoom in #WestTexas, looks way bigger than the budget we had!!! Lots of hard work from an awesome #IndieFilm Crew! Read the article and look out for the trailer coming soon!! https://www.texasmonthly.com/articles/iron-orchard/ #MakingMovies #FilmTexas #Texas #Wildcatters #OilMen #Oil #BlackGold (at Big Spring, Texas)

Part of the Possy: Best Boy Electric delivered one hell of a TISSUE Magazine Mixtape 70. Expect enough heavy, raw and dystopian waves of joy to get you through the day. Dropping this afternoon 3 PM on http://radio80k.de

Here is an example of pure, classic stupidity. Bates cables are NOT NEMA 3R rated. They are NOT submersible. They are NOT waterproof. If you can’t figure that out on your own you can simply call the manufacturer and they will advise you on how stupid it it’s to put their energized connectors under water. The technicians were attempting to “cool” the connectors while energized on a hot day. Clearly, they have no diagnostic abilities. If the connectors are getting overly hot then the solution is generally to fix the increased resistance likely cause by a poor connection inside the Bates connector. Easy, it’s just a couple screws. Instead the extremely dangerous idea of submerging them in ice water was drummed up, no GFCI protection. What’s wrong with this idea? Potential for increased amperage? Potential for line-line fault? Potential for line-ground fault? Potential for water conducting electricity directly into human technicians? Potential for corrosión of electrical parts? Do they not understand that the electricity available here could vaporize that water instantly? This is not a small indy or student film by the way.🤦🏻‍♂️ Done ranting. Stay safe out there, electrics. #electricity #electricalhazard #gaffer #bestboyelectric #clt #aclt #slt #setlightingtechnician #setelectric #firstitslights #hazard #safetyonset #safetyforsarah https://www.instagram.com/p/BylxsIsjQUE/?igshid=t9wbx5hyem7k

This is the look of a couple of dudes who pulled off 46 setups with 3 different directors yesterday for 2nd unit and killed it. Thanks to @k.carothers for having me come out and shoutout to my #bestboyelectric @marizosiller and #electrician @harrissmith1525 for the stellar work! #gaffer #filmset #hulu #directorofphotography (at Newhall, Santa Clarita, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIpoqtBS8l/?igshid=1cxwitlaetv7l

Looking at this picture you’d have no idea I was having a mental breakdown! #musicvideo with 7 different sets all with HUGE #lighting setups. I have never used so much math in my life. A massive shout out to @mikelong.dp and @cassioam who are amazing #electricians and killed it last night, couldn’t have done it without them and you should all hire them! #gaffer #bestboyelectric #filmindustry (at Silver Dream Factory) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx_Iq3Hhm1w/?igshid=16xapnhbpudw8
