Our friends over at CBS had been working on a documentary centered around the Crown ACT, a law passed in 2019 to protect individuals from any type of discrimination based on the style and texture of their hair. They had interviewed several well recognized athletes around the country, and when it was time to make their way to Atlanta, we were the first on the list! We had a short window to sources RED Komodos, DZO Vespid lenses, and a location to shoot, and on the day we had only an hour to setup lights and cameras before talent touched down!
