On this site, every project or collection is a scene and every scene builds on what came before it or what's coming after. The scenes are a culmination of my practice, my learning, my love of directing and storytelling.
Ronnie and TaLisha do not know each other. They ride the same bus on the south side of Chicago. Over the course of one spring, they trade places in the metaphor, the caterpillar and the butterfly, moving in opposite emotional directions. They speak twice: once at the beginning of the journey, and again at the end of it.
Two seasons of a Black Hermione in her mid-twenties, working, broke, trying to make a life the canon never imagined for her. Festival selections, press in PBS, Emmy magazine, The Los Angeles Times, and Elle UK.
A slice of life in the underground world of train hopping. An unlikely pair explores love as they fall in and out of each others lives.
Music videos and commercial work, folded together because they live in the same part of the brain, short form, specific brief, make it feel like something. The Tetris piece, Indio, became the Coachella theme.
The work on this scene keeps the craft muscles loose between longer projects. Every frame is a rehearsal for the next feature.
