Podcast.
Creative direction, producing, and post production of the brand’s award winning flagship podcast.
VIdeo.
The opening sequence of When Roe Fell, an example of video creative direction from the documentary short film that I conceptualized, produced, shot, and edited covering the period between the leak of the Dobbs vs Jackson opinion and the subsequent formal release of that opinion, officially overturning Roe vs Wade. Because video is cumbersome and this portfolio is vast, I chose to limit to one example. Please see the video page for more.
