Over the weekend, we had the chance to join HIGH DIVE over at Sonark Media to capture some live music recording & testimonials during their session in support of the upcoming musical short film “Together Tomorrow.”

Art like this is so important— and getting to play a small role in introducing the world to a new independent production is always a delight.

I promise I am productive…

In reality here’s what I did today:

- worked on draft 4 of an upcoming feature
- edited a commercial documentary
- location scout for a nonprofit documentary
- meeting with local business leader
- set up additional project meetings / project management
- signed a new client & sent deposit

And probably some other things I’m forgetting. It’s not always glamorous but it is often fun!

Part 2 of a series of brand videos completed for Durham NC Family and child photographer / 505 Photography — these pieces use a documentary style to communicate the inherent value in heirloom portraiture.

One of our favorite things to do is evaluate a brand, see what makes them unique, and elevate their awareness using the filmmaking lens.

This case study shows a recent couple of projects doing this exact work.

What stands out to you?

This was a rich & enjoyable project.

We were approached by 505 Photography, to produce some brand videos helping distinguish their fine art portraiture service. This is what we came up with.

What do you like about the piece?

Personal projects fuel the soul.

After my father died, I decided to jump into a new project; through thoughtful interviews with family, friends, colleagues, and those who knew him, my aim is to tell his story & etch his memory into time.

Over the weekend, the production of this documentary finally began—one part legacy film, one part grief meditation.

Here are a few stills from my family members that made time to sit with me for these emotional & earnest interviews.
