Always, Lola
1st Assistant Director
Always, Lola is an independent film written and directed by fellow Miami University alum, Jeffery Crane Graham. As the solo AD on the film, I had a special connection to shooting 12 days on location in Oxford, OH. Filming in iconic campus spots and participating in all aspects of the production from pre to post, Always, Lola has a special place in my heart.
The film is a coming of age dramedy which follows a group of friends on their annual camping trip where a dark reality thrusts them quickly into adulthood.
