While at Film School in NYC creating in the amazing and inspiring Village where every turn down another block gave birth to a new story, I started my first gig working at Adidas America.

My first very viral video happened and I felt that wild rush of excitement and was in awe of the award winning streak.

All these years later, I’m thrilled but now even more because I get to make films with my true love, now winning almost 80 awards together and combining entertainment plus a powerful social impact on society making the world better one project at a time.

So blessed to be a Filmmaker in love with my craft and my co-director

Bayou Bennett and I are honored to receive the Net Zero Award for our film "Connection" starring the amazing Berite Labelle. This film was born out of a deep desire to inspire people across the globe to realize that small everyday choices can truly make a big impact on our planet.

From choosing a reusable stainless steel water bottle over single-use plastic, to turning off lights when they’re not in use, going solar, driving electric, planting trees or growing a garden — it all adds up. 🌱💡🚗

A heartfelt thank you to James and the incredible team at the Frome Climate Film Festival for recognizing our message and honoring us with this beautiful award — a stunning sculpture created by the talented Anthony Rogers.

Let’s keep creating, educating, and acting — together we can change the world. 🌎💚
