“I’ve had the pleasure of managing Rocky for the best part of 3 years while he worked on with Beyond's embedded team at Google Retail. Rocky is an experienced and extremely competent Art Director, his contribution has been invaluable to the success of the team. Rocky has a wide range of skills from his photography background, stretching from Art direction, photography, through to high end retouching. Rocky's a can do person, he’s very capable and will turn his hand to anything. He's full of integrity and would be an asset to any team.”

Viewers experience the movie unfolding in three-dimensional space, watching the star, Gilda, relive memories with her late husband. Juror Josh Raab writes, “In You and Me on a Sunny Day, Rocky McCorkle spent years photographing his neighbor in elaborate sets that were simultaneously glamorous and daunting. These explosions of color give a peek into a fabricated life while inferring truths about Rocky’s subject.”
