On July 5th, our friend Brandon boarded a flight to Saudi Arabia for a two-month photography job covering the Esports World Cup—one of the few high-paying gigs he’s landed in the second slow year in a row for many of us in the production world.

While he was asleep, mid-flight, someone stole his camera and two lenses from the overhead compartment. Gone. No help from the airline. No luck with the local police. And now he’s halfway across the world, trying to do his job with half of the gear he needs.

Brandon would never ask for help, so we’re doing it for him.

If you know Brandon, you know he’s the guy who actually helps you move, drives you to the airport, volunteers at church, shows up at your art show, or lends you gear without asking for anything back. He’s supported so many of us. Now it’s our turn to show up for him.

We’re raising funds to replace what was stolen—or at least get him a working setup to finish this job. Whether you can give $10 or $200, it will go directly toward getting Brandon back on his feet.

Let’s rally for a guy who always shows up.

With love and gratitude,

John & Adam
