This is a collection of footage I've personally shot over the years for projects on which I both served as both Director and DP (with the exception of the sci-fi short film starring Rockmond Dunbar, on which I was a DP only). Music by Matt Bowen http://mattbowenmusic.com

In 2013, we met Gabriel Cordell through the YMCA of Burbank where we are both members. He was just about to head out on a cross country roll across America, and Jen Serena shot some promotional stills for him. Fast-forward a year later… after successfully completing his roll across America, he is now raising funds to roll across Israel. We spent a weekend shooting this piece in an effort to help in his fundraising efforts. A big thank you to all who contributed their time and energy to finishing the piece. www.rollwithme.org Directed & Shot by Ric Serena Additional camera work by Sheldon Neill Music by Paul Bessenbacher, courtesy of Emoto Music in Santa Monica Jib Operating by Gaston Carrizo of Flying Visual Art Location Audio by Durand Trench Graphic Design by Christian Kneller Sound Edit & Mix by David Barnaby Color Correction by Bruce Goodman at HotPixel Post Production Assistance by Jerome Titshaw Special Thanks to the YMCA of Burbank for their assistance and support.
