Tyler Franklin as Director of Photography and Sound Mixer.
Where does one even begin? Tyler, or Ty as everyone now refers to him, is a student at WKU. We met on the set of "1 Message" (a film by Jefferson Moore with Kelly's Filmworks).
The first time we actually spoke to each other was when he arrived in a taxi, unable to pay his fare. To his credit, it wasn't actually his fault. We all decided to chip in and bail the poor kid outta trouble. And thus, a great friendship was born.
Not only is he amazingly talented when it comes to vision and a camera, but he is an expert in the field of comedy. In any situation, whether I'm ready to jump off a cliff or ready to push somebody off a cliff, he can say one thing and laughter ensues. The problem becomes nonexistant, and it's back to work.
He was a great joy to work with. I do not recall Tyler complaining. Not once. And that goes to show how dedicated he is to this field. If he hadn't been a part of "No Lost Cause", it would not be what it is today. He saved us many times. I owe a lot to him (including gas money, I'm sure), and I'm certain that in the future, we're going to be seeing a LOT more of him...but hopefully not in the tabloids. Maybe on the red carpet. :)
In closing, I just have one more thing to say: Monocle.
