Final day shooting two short action sequences in the morning before handing off to Fred Toye who is directing the finale. More detailed update of all things when I’ve got a chance. Bittersweet leaving another great crew and cast, but got to get back home to the States.

Once Upon a Time Promo!
The episode of Once Upon a Time I directed airs tonight at 8pm on ABC!
Designated Survivor Shoot Day 9
Final full day of shooting. Shot at our annex studio spaces for interior and exterior work. Day took a long time but was fun to do. Back on Monday for a morning of shooting an action sequence, and then that’s a wrap.
Scandal 100 Airs Tonight
Designated Survivor Day 8
Shot on our studio lot on two new sets built for this episode. Sets were good but one was small and tricky to work in so it took a longer time than usual. Final day of work on this episode for some of our main cast. Going to our annex studio tomorrow for some exterior work and a couple interior scenes.
Designated Survivor Day 7
Final day on location with a handful for guest and co-stars at a hotel. We finished early so that was nice. Back to the studio tomorrow for work on two new sets.
Designated Survivor Shoot Day 6
All day on location, including a scene with a couple hundred people, so that was fun. Still on location tomorrow before we head back to the stages to shoot on some new sets.
Scandal 100 Promo!
Here’s the promo for the 100th episode of Scandal that I was fortunate enough to direct:
There are also a couple of stories about the episode, including this one in the The Hollywood Reporter. Airs this coming Thursday!
Designated Survivor Shoot Day 5
Final day of the first week of shooting. All day on location in exotic downtown Toronto. Got to direct this guy for the first time in fourteen years so that was wonderful. The crew and some of the cast went out afterwards which was a nice way to end a busy week. Back at it on Monday for some very large set pieces.
Designated Survivor Shoot Day 4
Multiple locations around Toronto. A couple of driving scenes including putting the camera in the front seat and shooting towards the back seat handheld style like we did in film school. All day at a single location tomorrow out of the rain so that’ll be nice.
