Under The Sun

Short film

Antonio, played by Colin O’Brien (Wonka, Mr. Harriman’s Phone, Dear Edward), is a restless teen drawn from his structured home into the orbit of neighborhood punks, where fleeting joy gives way to consequences he may not outrun—despite his father’s relentless attempts to reach him.

Your Name

Although the shadow of what might follow looms over him, he steels himself to overcome the doubts and embrace the chance for a meaningful interaction.

about

I love to craft a brand or person’s story. What makes someone different? What makes them or a brand stand out? My work is dedicated to connecting, understanding, and then answering these and other relevant questions to create a memorable story for your audience.

Storyteller - Your world is filled with great stories. My passion is about people and their stories. I take your story and craft an emotional destination for your audience. My approach is built on intention and then response. As a creative director and videographer, I extend my approach to create an emotional, intellectual, and specific response from your audience.

Intention – As an underrated and misunderstood attribute in creative storytelling, intention is foundational of my work. Each second, minute, or hour of my finished work is crafted with intention in mind. As a result, and because I value and protect intention, my approach to direction and videography brings your or your brand’s story to life and extends beyond your audience’s expectations.

Response – Each shared story should have an understood and intended response before it is shared. What is the intended emotional response for your brand and story? As a result, my consultative approach to my clients is unique. I invest a brand-centric approach to understand your intended audience response and then work backward to create.
