Projects I’ve had the privilege of writing and directing:
The Path | 2023
A true story about dreams and how alternate life paths unfold. Featured in multiple film festivals this year.
The Climate Cure | 2023
Last year, I was tasked with writing, directing, and narrating an educational docuseries on the greatest contributors to climate change, and the solutions we all can be a part of.
Connected Through Water | 2022
My challenge here was to create a video that connected five characters from different walks of life to show how the water crisis affects every member of a community. To complete this project, I spent one day interviewing members of the community in search of compelling stories and interconnected relationships. That night, I storyboarded and scripted based on my conversations with the protagonists. We started shooting early the next morning and thanks to a well-planned shot list, wrapped before sundown.
Johnny Cuba Ad | 2023
I wanted this ad to play on the ridiculous nature of the typical beach beer commercial while sending a message about finding true joy and honoring the brand’s slogan, “Stay Tranquilo”.
STUDIO SESSIONS | 2022
This might be my most random project. Our crew was intrigued by the owner of a Lebanese lunch-spot we frequented. More times than not, we walked out with most of our food gifted to us. Not only incessantly generous, he is also a hilarious, larger-than-life character. This video is the result of a two-day shoot in the hopes of capturing his essence and story.
DEAR MOMS | 2018
Women have long carried the weight of the water crisis. I wanted to really illustrate that through this piece that celebrated mothers from different countries we planned to work in that upcoming year. My goal was to capture their cultural differences while highlighting their common enemy and similar aspirations for their families.
