As 2023 ends l have finally accomplished my goal of almost 10 years by getting an underwater housing to push my craft beneath the surface. For years I’ve dreamt of this and now it’s finally here. Time to practice and push my craft where it’s never been before. Here’s a mood reel from some test footage shot in Tobago Dec 23.

What does it mean to sit inside a slow, intentional process, while everything else moves fast?

To watch a family choose, deliberately, not to rush something that took centuries to build. Threads that have passed through generations of Maya women’s hands, telling stories with patterns that travelled through time and space.

That is XE‘IL - Threads of Culture, Tradition, and Community ✨

Number 4: Grenada 🌿✨

After a quick Boxenstopp back home to charge our batteries (quite literally), we hopped on a short and very smooth (yes, we’re experts at this now 😅 and know exactly what to do with all export formalities lol) flight to the Spice Isle 🇬🇩 capturing the work of @caribbiofund and @gsdtf473.

From a nature conservation project in the north of the mainland to a marine area project in Carriacou!

This island, though… what a feeling. Every corner carries memories of Hurricane Beryl. Heartbreaking, and yet… contrasts again - a wild, adventurous ride through deep mud holes (mastered by rally driver @dylan_q 😅) and a forgotten landscape of broken branches and dead trees🪾led us to a place that felt surreal 🌈🦄 A bubble where the world slows down. Horses and goats roam freely. The sea breeze blows wildly. No WIFI to distract. And a house reef that surprises with shark encounters 🤿🦈 grateful, for all that.

More soon 🎥✨ by @dylan_q

I’m incredibly proud to finally share ‘Spectral’ — the first film I’ve had the honor of directing.

This project would not exist without the talent and tireless dedication of the amazing team who brought it to life. I’m endlessly grateful to every single person who poured their heart into making this film a reality.

Over the next few weeks, the team and I will be revealing more about this cool little film that means so much to us. ‘Spectral’ is a tribute to the storytellers — to those who devote themselves to illuminating the unseen and giving voice to the untold.

Stay tuned. We can’t wait to show you what we’ve made.

How can we bear the unbearable, where the fruits of the orchard are still too young to fall and the sound of weapons shake the hills of paradise?

On March 14th, Javed’s life was tragically taken. We don’t have an answer to make sense, but we have to trust a power far beyond our reach, that his devotional presence spreads the light where it’s needed most. A soul and heart so pure. Javed 🕊️🤍 May his love be magnified with the whole universe - all plants, animals, microorganisms, water, human souls - the for many of us seemingly insignificant details of the ecosystem. May his love continue to serve a higher purpose.

We feel blessed to have spent time with Javed and followed his traces around his orchard in Brasso Seco as part of our short documentary, Trinitario - On The Edge. Grateful to be able to share this with you - a tribute to his beautiful, graceful, and selfless being.

With love,
Your Trinitario Film Crew

The song in this video is called “Hills of Paradise” by @solmanmusic and was written in memory of Javed. by @dylan_q
