Seth Doc

I met Dana Pagane and Mark Burch of Doggy Paddle Music on a previous “no budget” project called Mom, Can You Change My Name? Dana originally reached out to me after I made a crew call post on a local Facebook group. Her offer absolutely floored me when they offered to score our short film. […]

I found Benton on one of the Nashville Film Facebook groups. He posted that he was recently transplanted from Colorado about two weeks prior and he was looking to get some editing work. I hate to ask people to work for free, but after reaching out and explaining the project, he said yes! Benton arrived […]

December 1, 2024 was the final interview for this project, which started on June 21 with Michelle. I haven’t had a chance to talk with Seth yet, but I am sure he was surprised to see Sharon on screen. She was one of othe first people to stop, assist and comfort Seth after the accident. […]

On November 7, 2024 I got to meet Shara Carter in her office in Cool Springs. Shara was a late addition, but integral part of the project. She came on as a clinical expert, talking about the health benefits of running in community. Not only was she an expert, she also has been running wtih […]

On November 11, 2024 Sid finally said yes to my pestering. Sid was one of those guys that I enjoyed seeing and talking with on group runs. Like me he hasn’t been participating in those group runs lately, which was likely one of his hesitations. I am so glad he said yes, because his story […]

On November 1, 2024 I got to meet the young lady who would become the fan favorite of the film. Sharon is Seth’s sister and she does not lack any personality. She was so much fun and was a great addition to the film. I returned to the home of Seth Jr, so we had […]

On October 8, 2024 I got to meet Seth’s family from Memphis. They traveled up to Spring Hill where we filmed in Seth Jr’s home. They also brought the three precious grandbabies. During the documentary Seth mentioned that one of the goals he had in rehab was to run the Franklin Classic 5K again. Patricia […]

On October 5, 2024, with the help and direction of Crystal Pesce, one of the Franklin Road Runners‘ leaders, we took advantage of Seth being in Minnesota that day. My goal here was just to gather personal messages and to be respectful of other’s schedules since it was very difficult for many to carve out […]

On October 4, 2024 I was able to meet up with Alicia in her and we had this terrific natural light setup on her back porch. She has known Seth for over a decade and their friendship shines through this doc and conversation. Alicia was one of those people that I knew from a distance. […]

The last two interviews of September 25 was our first married couple, Keith and Ninette Chapman. Keith reached out to me from a Facebook post and it was later that I realized he and Ninette were married. I remembered Ninette being active on the Franklin Road Runners page when I was more involved in the […]

One of the first members of Seth’s Run Friends or “Seth’s Babes,” Jill was another person I knew of but I don’t know if I had ever met before. I am so glad that she responded to my Facebook message and agreed to participate. The second of my September 25, 2024 interviews, Jill shared many […]

September 25, 2024 proved to be a productive day for gathering stories about Seth. Lululemon of Cool Springs, where Seth is an ambassador, allowed us to use the courtyard in front of their store. The idea was to make myself available and people would just show up, so I could save some time in setting […]

On September 24, 2024 I met sweet Abby at the Coffee House at 2nd and Bridge. She reached out through a Facebook post on the Franklin Road Runners page. This was not a great location to shoot with a boom mic. I wish I had a lav to get her audio better isolated, but hindsight […]

Suzanne is an athlete in every sense. She is a 2:48 marathoner and 1:22 half marathoner. She is a leader in the run community and especially the Franklin Road Runners. Prior to the 2013 run group merger she was one of the Team Weber speedsters. On September 24, 2024 she invited me in to her […]

On September 20, 2024 I was able to meet up with Leslie at her home. Leslie was one of those people that I knew of but didn’t know too well. I would see her on all the group runs and local races but that was about the extent of our relationship. She loves to talk! […]

On September 18, 2024 I met Ken in his home. He was a bit reluctant at first. Ken and I used to run a bit at the group runs back in the day. I am so glad he said yes, because his was one of those interviews that really helped move the story. He is […]

On September 17, 2024 I was invited to the Austin-Young home to gather more of stories of Seth. I was greeted by two beautiful Labs and we decided on the sunroom that had tons of natural light. This was my first interview after I bought a used Canon R5C. The original goal was to buy […]

Patricia solicited Pastor Corey Howse and Deacon Anthony Fleming to be interviewed and they agreed. On September 13, 2024, I took a short drive down Clayton Arnold Road to a church I have passed by 100 times before. I had just got my Godox 150s delivered so I was excited to have a properly lit […]

September 5 and the promise of this date sparked life back into this project. I believe we had it scheduled prior to the 2024 Franklin Classic, but I am just going by memory at this point. I met Seth’s wife, Patricia, and son, Seth Jr. or Seth Andrew at his house in Franklin while Seth […]

On Sep. 2, 2024 I showed up to Downtown Franklin with my brand new DJI RS4 Pro gimbal so I could grab some amazing, smooth, professional footage. Coupled with the Canon C70, I was able to get some great shots that would be used for the trailers and B-roll in the documentary. However, that was […]
