I’m Brad Roelandt, I’m a filmmaker based in Los Angeles. I was born in Detroit. My projects include IMG 0000, an experimental documentary weaving together thousands of lost YouTube videos; a series of aerial single-take short films ("Terry Tries to Find a Christmas Gift..." & "Joey Earns Rewards..."); as well as numerous music videos. I currently work as an editor for Conan O'Brien Must Go on Max.
Captured in a single aerial shot, Cleveen’s proposal to Meghan at a McDonald's drive-thru is interrupted by an eager customer offering help with their order.
