Honored to be amongst so many amazing and talented creative people, in front of the camera and behind the scenes, for @chicagonewsweekly

@cherylnmainor , thank you for the shot. For letting me bring my gifts and abilities to this and add value to what you’re building.

@lauramillerpens your pen game is remarkable. The way you craft a story is something else. Thank you for how you told this one.

Getting asked to represent myself and the work I do, and how I show my community, while also highlighting myself, that’s been one of the most unique asks of me in recent years. I show up and execute without complaint. It turned out to be a vibe.

Shout out to every creative who was there that day. Some I met for the first time. Some are my neighbors. I appreciate all of you and I’m looking forward to what we build next.

Fujifilm GFX MkII & XM5 | Unboxing

Sometimes, you gotta ask for what you want.

The best the advice I received recently is to not be afraid of reaching out and creating the opportunity to connect with people and the brands themselves.

FYI this was my first experience shooting with Fujifilm, ever! 😏 by @directorsouthside

This summer I had the honor to write & direct @hilbornforstp campaign production with an amazing team. As a writer & director, I believe campaigns are modern-day epics — stories where everyday people become heroes or protagonists who embark on a journey of self-discovery. With this production, we set out to tell the story of a city that deserves better and a leader prepared to fight for it.
🎬 For me, this wasn’t just a campaign launch video. It was an act of storytelling meant to inspire, challenge, and remind us all that St. Paul’s best days are still ahead.——————————————————————————— Production Crew
