Congratulations Jessica Chastain! Oscar Nomination for "The Eyes of Tammy Faye"

February 2022

I had the good fortune of being the EPK DP for "The Eyes of Tammy Faye" in 2019, so it was great to see Jessica Chastain receive an Oscar nomination today! The footage we shot is now "The Making Of: The Eyes of Tammy Faye", currently available as an accompaniment to the film on HBO+. This marks the second time I have worked on a film that led to an Oscar nomination for the lead actress. The first was Frances McDormand and "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing Missouri". I expect Jessica to have the same success that Frances enjoyed in 2018. Thank you to Gregg Temkin and Mob Scene for the opportunity!
