THE PAINTING - A SHORT FILM
I’ve had a vision for a Dutch Masters design for so, so long. Back in the Spring of 2020, I partnered with a brilliant florist, Selena of The Wildflowers, to experiment with still life visuals when the world shut down. For a whole year, we gathered fruits, oiled them, foraged flowers, spilled water in vessels, and rolled berries across tables. I felt so alive translating it all on camera.
THE PAPERBACK PRINCESS - BEHIND THE SCENES
This all began with a vision in London during Ponderosa & Thyme's workshop. I was there filming Katie for my Intuition Series but was also capturing content throughout the workshop. Katie's workshops are a complete embodiment of her spirit and her process.
ALE VIDAL - BEHIND THE SCENES VIDEO
I have never felt like a behind-the-scenes video has more accurately captured my direction with women. It's a dance. I don't lose connection with her, I guide her, and most importantly - I listen. It truly is a partnership of trust. This is our dance...
HIDDEN
The story of a forgotten statue and what happens when she comes to life. I'm excited to share the full length film with you, but even more so, the deeper story behind it. This has been quite a journey of self-discovery, both painful and inspiring. I suppose that’s the beauty of growth, isn’t it?
THE EXPERIENCE: JESS
Jess is an artist and creator at heart. She has been creating wedding films for 6 years but when she reached out for a mentorship, she longed to grow her vision to encompass more than just wedding films. She wanted to step into a new space as a filmmaker.
BEHIND THE SCENES WITH NOIR AND LUCKYLEO DANCEWEAR
This project was a true collaboration of handcrafted work. First of all, Chelsea and Heather of Luckyleo Dancewear created two custom dresses to highlight a ballerina’s movement. Their company specializes in custom ballet leotards and bodysuits. I began brainstorming specific details about the dress (aside from fabric) and imagined some type of cape along the dancer’s shoulders. And usually my train of thought goes like this: emotion… movement… FLOWERS. Haha.
CREATIVE RIOT: BRAND FILM PROCESS
So how do you portray the story of a company who celebrates originality, challenges the status quo, and pushes the limits of their own creativity?
It sounds like quite the task, right?
(DON'T) GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT
So, a few months ago I posted something on Instagram (that I was pretty excited about), and it received what I considered a "low" number of likes. However, the people liking it were artists with large platforms, magazine editors, and even art directors.
THE SUN MAKES ME BRAVE
It was last year when I first inspired to pair words with visuals. I started coming across some poems on Pinterest (most likely by Tyler Knott or Christopher Poindexter :) and they would just move me. I remember thinking how beautiful it is when someone can hold such intensity in such few words. So much meaning and emotion. All I wanted to do was translate those words into video - into motion.
