Great music meets national park adventures! In this multi episode series we followed bands, like Goth Babe, into iconik national parks to hear beautiful music in equally magnificent settings. This project was a tale of two hats, where I jumped between working on the camera team for the tv show and directing several short form branded content pieces.
SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE
Created for: Outside Inc.
Client: Costa Del Mar
Role: Director and Editor
Sometimes in the branded content world you're handed fast turn around projects. This one from Costa Del Mar was one such example, with a 4 week turnaround to develop, scout, shoot, and edit 2 original stories. As the director I developed storyboards, worked with field producers, and led production. The two surf and dive videos created were instrumental in helping the campaign exceed its reach and engagement goals.
A LIFE HISTORY SERIES

Role: Director, Cinematographer, Editor
Wild Salmon Center wanted to highlight the stories of several of their staff in order to bring more human connection to their policy and science work. I was the sole creator on this project, shaping the narrative, creating production schedules, one-man banding production, and polishing narratives in post. The final videos went onto to feature in environmental and fly fishing festivals across the country.
