🎬✨ IT’S HERE — First Look at Stinkin Thinkin✨🎬

I’m so excited to finally share the proof of concept for Stinkin Thinkin — a surreal psychological comedy cinematic piece that explores the absurd, messy, and hilarious ways we navigate the thoughts that live rent-free in our minds.

Bringing this world to life was such a joy. From the visual language and vibrant colour palette to the performances and the incredible creative collaboration behind the camera, this project was a chance to lean into a heightened cinematic world and have some fun with storytelling.

A huge thank you to this incredible cast and crew for helping bring Stinkin Thinkin to life. Your talent, creativity, and commitment made this experience unforgettable. ❤️

FIFA Opening Ceremony 2026 ⚽️❤️✨

Still trying to process this moment. Little Jaiden would’ve never thought that this would align in this lifetime. Growing up having soccer and dance being two of my passions and now performing at FIFA… it feels so surreal! Doing it alongside some of my best friends was truly something special. All I feel is gratitude!

To @alex_francoeur & @luisflorenci0 - you did that! Thank you so much for your trust, patience and fearless leadership. This will be an experience that I will never forget. Truly a dream come true!

To @angiiedelorme @stef_fournier28 @melissamitro @felipegarcia267 - thank you so much for all of your help, support and guidance throughout this process. We seriously wouldn’t have been able to do it without you! Y’all are truly the dream team!

To @kalinakkuma @jacvaliquette @evanannisette @emilyeins - thank you for keeping us organized and all of your hard work behind the scenes. It takes a village to do something like this and all of your work and contributions don’t go unnoticed!
