BLAKE JUDD

Yesterday, OJ Oleka was in Greensburg, Kentucky as we worked on a commercial for his upcoming bid for Kentucky Treasurer. Working alongside local government, Grit Creative, and RunSwitch PR, we could not have asked for a better shoot. With the primaries coming in fast, a lot more work will follow leading into May and the fall.

Shooter Jennings “The Other Life” album was released 10 years ago today. To accompany the album, I produced/directed a short film that won Best Short Film at the 2013 HorrorHound Weekend, created a comic with RD Hall and illustrated by J.D. Wilkes, and we released a beautiful print by artist Josh Bodwell. So many amazing people across different platforms with loads of talent.

Thanks to all involved. And a special thanks to Van Fletcher for giving us a chance.

And a side note: the album cover was shot by my friend Richie Wireman in Greensburg, Kentucky.

Fourteen years ago, Senator David Givens pushed for Vincent Fields, while still with the Republican Party, to hire me to film his campaign ads. Shortly after, Fields would leave the party and launch his own company Grit Creative looking to give candidates a more personal experience. Over 50+ candidates on local, regional, state, and national levels, along with numerous awards, we’re still going strong. It’s been an honor to play a small part in all of these folks bids to try to make their community, state and nation a better place. Get out and vote today.

If you happen to be watching the World Series through the Louisville, Kentucky affiliate, several ads have featured content we produced for the Republican Party of Kentucky including the one above for Jared Bauman. Be on the lookout for the spot for Emily Callaway as well.

Amanda Mays Bledsoe‘s spot via Grit Creative is live today! Give it a look.

A great experience last night as we produced the 2022 Kentucky Music Hall of Fame Ceremony at Renfrow Valley in Rockcastle County. Seven new members were inducted into the HoF including Carly Pearce. If you’re ever in the area, you should check out a show at Renfrow Valley and visit the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame and Museum. Special thanks to Jessica Blankenship for bringing us in on this great project.

Still hot on the campaign trail, and back with Grit Creative, today we were in Lexington shooting for Amanda Mays Bledsoe as she runs for Senate.

Today was an epic day in Louisville as we pulled off shooting four candidates for The Republican Party of Kentucky. The footage will used via different organizations and PACs that support the candidates. One of our candidates, Susan Tyler Witten, is seen above along with Chuck Breitenbach, Emily Callaway, and Jared Bauman.

Joe Bilby is in a heated race for Circuit Court Judge in Franklin County. Check out the ad we did via Grit Creative above.
