My TIME Has Come

I’m super honored to have this be my first TIME cover – a big thank you to Myles Little, Paul Moakley, Kira Pollack and D.W. Pine!

And enjoy our video interview, on their biggest influences:

Director: Chris Buck

Cinematographer: Ram Gibson

Additional Camerawork: Stewart Volland

Top Image: More than one person has seen a Norman Rockwell quality to the cover image; I’ll certainly take that as a compliment. On the right is the sketch I sent to the photo and design team at TIME to illustrate what I had in mind (I prefer photography to drawing).

Second Image: Photo Editor Myles Little provides some direction on set. Why am I not holding the camera?

Third Image: Key, Buck & Peele. You can tell when people love what they do. My favorite moments of the day were watching them make each other laugh in the make-up room. This and the previous photo by Phillip McAbee.
