Crew Profile: John Hadden
December 20, 2008
Next up in the DGW: Crew Profiles series is John Hadden.
You might not remember seeing John in the movie.
That’s because he was the cameraman.
John is always up for sports…
and, on a trip to Washington a few months ago, he distinguished himself with his top-notch mechanical skills.
John’s also still the cameraman for Darius Goes West, shooting great footage at all the places we go. He also logs and captures all his footage—a long and thankless task.
John is originally from Gibson, GA, where he was valedictorian of his high school class.
He graduated from the University of Georgia a couple years ago with a major in Film Studies.
He’ll do whatever it takes to get the shot…
from climbing on top of vehicles…
to eating spoonfuls of wasabi in front of two hundred cheering middle-schoolers.
An avid skier and long-boarder, John also loves all kinds of movies, and he used to dream about being a crew-member on Saturday Night Live.
Now, his focus is on helping Darius with his goal of eradicating Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
What he lacks in basic understanding of geography…
he more than makes up for with his enthusiasm, sense of humor…
and funny faces.
That’s John!
Stay tuned for more in the continuing series Darius Goes West: Crew Profiles. Andrew Carson is next!

Accompanied by eleven best friends, Darius Weems, a fifteen-year-old living with Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD), leaves home for the first time in his life. The rowdy crew sets a course for California where they hope to convince MTV to customize Darius's wheelchair on the hit show, Pimp My Ride. Darius Goes West has been enjoyed by hundreds of thousands of people of all ages all around the world.
