What can I say? As I went through my camera roll on my phone, thinking about talking about this last year, I moved from what felt like something focused on me to thinking about other people. I don’t post much about my family, and my personal life, out of a sense of respect for my family’s privacy, and sometimes I think that extends to my friends as well. As I thought about what I’d say about this past year it occurred to me that what strung it all together (besides many, many, many flights) was people: my friends, my family, my collaborators and colleagues and the surprise of wonderful new folks along the way. My whole life has been a search for people, and this past year I feel like I finally began to understand myself in them. 2024 was a very tough year for me and at my lowest I realized the uselessness of feeling angry about not having more when I already had so much and so I worked on setting that pettiness aside. Into that space entered so much positivity and possibility. 2025 was an incredible year for me, not without its challenges, and always against a backdrop of unbelievable injustices in every direction for so many that deserve so much better. I hope I can keep finding ways to pay it forward. My life would not be possible without all these incredible people in it. Here’s to a new year of choosing joy and helping people in need.

That’s a wrap on work in 2025 🎥🎬

From the Farallon Islands to Las Vegas back to the Bay. Thank you to everyone I got to collaborate with this year. I learned a lot and I’m looking forward to many more years with you all!!

Way way too many  thanks to give, but special thanks to @okamoto.ethan, @instacrossed, and @mohneekuh for helping me get through some of the harder times this year on set ♥️

Here's a spec ad I directed for @absolutvodka

I wanted to create something bold, cinematic, and brand-driven for my reel leaning into that iconic Absolut look while adding my own style.

@tffnywlsn was our wonderful talent for the evening. Great working with you again!

Huge shout out to @aajayiiii for DP'ing and helping produce and push to get this spec to happen

And thanks @steelydanpaddock for all your skills and help.

And a special thx to @littlegiantlightingsf

Used one of my favorite bands for this @the_knocks and @yellestagram
 
Absolut, let's make this official!
