This video came from meeting Sam Jones in person at Battle of Hastings a few years back. I simply said "Come to California and lets film a video" about 6 months later Sam was on his way. It's pretty amazing how things work out sometimes. Thanks to BSD for sending Sam and wanting to work with me in general. It isn't always easy working with new people but Sam was a treat to work with and kept me laughing the entire time. Can't say enough good things about Sam.

Watch the behind-the-scenes action from their time in the deep end.
