Side Chops Director Joe Harris assembled a Who’s Who of Dallas production and post professionals as a showcase of DFW capabilities. Ushering the project from original concept through creature and environment-building all the way to final color, composite and sound design, Harris worked with a deep and diverse roster of talent with a special collaboration from 3D CGI Designer/VFX Director Isaac Murray.

Check out Dr. Squatch offering sage wisdom to manly men pondering life’s great questions while coming clean in the woods. “This was one of the best campaigns to shoot because I had a crazy idea and a way to pull it off. I’m grateful so many of my colleagues thought it was unique enough to try! The Dr. Squatch brand is pushing the boundaries of advertising. They like to keep it wild. So do I.”
