THE RELIC

THE RELIC

THE RELIC is a multi award-winning short film produced by J. M. Logan, Matt Faletta and myself, written and directed by J.M. Logan. I served as Director of Photography and VFX Supervisor. 

We shot the project over three days during COVID in the mountains of Idyllwild. We shot on the BlackMagic Ursa Mini Pro G2 nearly exclusively on the the Sigma 18-35mm, color correction by John Daro at Warner Bros. 

In addition to shooting the principle photography, I shot several vfx elements, including miniatures for the digital matte paintings of the exteriors.
