filmed this over the weekend with the boys.
this one’s about three childhood friends who reunite, but each took a different path and are slightly jealous of each other.

been deep in writing this one for a while, so getting it off the ground felt really good and this meant a lot to me.

most importantly right now, is just improving my craft, directing better, building the team, and trying to grow with each project. excited for this to come to life later!

I wrote, directed, and produced my own short film this month. It’s something I’ve been working toward for a long time.

Filmmaking takes so much work from pre production to post that many don’t see the value. But to me, telling a story where you have something to say and putting it out there for people to see and judge is the most important thing for me.

This story follows a farmer who’s approached by a stranger, two lives crossing paths and finding connection in an unexpected place.

These photos and videos capture a bit of that journey behind the scenes. Long days, a small crew, and everyone really going out of their way to help me bring this to life.

I’m deeply grateful for everyone who believed in this story and helped me along the way because I believe all great things come in good time 🕊️

And that’s a wrap 🎬 over the past month had the opportunity to be the director of photography for @anxiousbrowngirlseries it was 3 weeks of intense shooting and prep and many hard hours on set, to me the most fulfilling projects are those that tell a great story and was happy to be apart of something new and push myself for a 3 weeks shoot! here’s some of my fav memories from set. huge shoutout to @canigetsharps for working so close with me and always putting that extra effort into every project, couldn’t have done it without you!

The work speaks long before the results do.

Grateful for the people who took the time to capture this part of my journey. Thank you for your creativity, your vision, and for reminding me that even the quiet moments are worth remembering.

Here's to creating more together. 🙏

A story only you can tell: Some bts and inspo. I’m currently studying in between work and life, films and what makes them great. One of the greatest films of all time is Ikiru, by Akira Kurosawa and it examines a character going through an existential battle as he is approaching his final days. I wanted to work on creating a scene that mimics that internal battle internal and external. It was also so great directing and coordinating with a team and producers as even just one scene alone, has a lot of prep work involved.

Shooting reels, photos and marketing for small businesses such as a moving company. My experience here has been fun and rewarding and really looking forward to keep growing as a creator / artist. #freelance #drone #moving #videoeditor #marketingonline by @zerakstudio
