Off Course -Video series

When Zach moved to California from Ohio, I was one of the first people he connected with. Over the years, we've worked on countless projects together, and he’s become more than just a close friend — he’s one of my most trusted creative partners. In 2022, we decided to make it official and launched Endsmith, allowing us to take on photo and video projects in a more structured way.

One of the first projects we worked on together was sparked by a dream Zach had — or at least part of one. The idea was to follow a wandering hero who decided to set up his golf course in the middle of the desert. It was a wild concept, but we jumped in with both feet, and I brought it to life via the camera and storyboarding. We managed to shoot all the footage for this short film in about three hours, and to this day, it’s still one of my favorite things we’ve created. There was something magical about how everything came together so smoothly, a real testament to the creative chemistry Zach and I share.
