Filmmaking/video creation is a library of skills. At least for me. This is probably self induced, but one moment I get to pull the creative book off the self and dream about what a piece can be. The next, I need to pull the scheduling book to figure out how to prep/scout and film in three days with no take backsies in an active construction zone. Then the fun book, budget, is always there watching and lurking. Those numbers need to be present for creativity to grow and even though they can feel limiting, it’s really just a problem in need of solving. It’s always a balance to make sure I capture what the project needs, while holding the creative line, and directing all my collaborators, pre to post, while staying in the allocated budget. Yaaaayyyy MovieFilms!

Below are stills from my most recent project with @wheelhousemedia and @burson.global for @ford about @Louisville Assembly Plant which is currently being retooled for the upcoming Ford Fathom. Pretty awesome to learn about and help communicate how Kevin Young designed and worked with the LAP folks to create the Universal EV Production System. Credits are below for all the lovely humans who I collabed with to get this to the finish line.

In honor of gloomy season, we present “overcast surfing”. For everyone who doesn’t let circumstances dictate their lives by finding peace in simplicity.

Keep creating. 🖖🏼

New work created with @carettacaretta.co for @unionwinecompany and @underwoodnonalc for their new NA: Rosé Bubbles.

We wanted to explore duality, how life can be hectic and calm, alone or social, traditional flavor without traditional ABV. We had a lot of fun getting back to basics with visual storytelling, strong audio atmosphere, and purposeful editing.

🖖🏼 Keep creating.

Earlier this year, we collaborated with the fine humans @vcfoundation by creating a video for their inaugural Pirates of Distinction class. Loved being apart of creating a video to celebrate the people who champion the Ventura community and those who are working hard to create the fate they want for themselves. Link to watch in the bio.
