My excitement lays upon more emotion than words can express- my good friend, and incredibly talented DP- Adrian Correia- just landed the head DP (Director of Photography) job for a documentary, which will carry him around the country and air on the WE channel. He was one of two candidates up for the job, the latter of which being a 30 year experienced DP in documentary work, and he fucking won out! The director/producer chose Adrian based on his “work” and “personality.” Clearly this woman is intelligent. Adrian is one of the most genuinely sweetest, kindest, nicest person(s) (did I write that right?) I know and his work is one of a true artist. This is a major break into the broadcast television world and I don’t know of anyone more deserving. Adrian is an artist. Plain and simple. Period- end of fucking story. On top of which, as I stated, he is also a top notch human being. Being on set is very stressful and all one can ask for in a DP and friend, beyond natural talent, which he has in spades, is a calming, ‘I’m-all-for-it’ attitude and he has all that and MORE. His work and attitude are unparalleled. I can’t express my happiness for him in words- as I would want to, but I can offer him all the best wishes I can possibly muster. Say goodbye to the dayjob, Sir, and say hello to everything you deserve- CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!

WOW! Adrian that is so great- I am so pumped for you and am selfishly glad that I had an opportunity to see you in action before! What Jeff says is so true, you are one of the most calming, positive can-do people I have ever met, and I just met you! You were so in tune to everything and every one. You deserve everything wonderful coming your way- so prepare yourself I am sure there will be an onslaught!
xxoo
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Adrian!!!!!
Glade I got to work with you before you hit the big time :)
You guys rock...especially the Jeffinator. I am currently cooking potato and leek soup and trying desperately not to cry into the pot.
It has been such a long road, and not always an easy one. It is only through the love and guidance of friends like Jeff (and now thankfully Carla and Steve) that I had the strength to persevere and believe enough in myself to grow with the art and craft of cinematography. I can not wait for this project to start!
it's all about putting it out there Adrian, and you put it out there in spades- (as Jeff always says) It just seems logical that it come full circle to you- though we all know life isn't always that simple, it's really nice to see it happen!
