Passion Projects

Road Trip - Baja Mexico

Living in San Diego has its perks, one of which is being so close to the beautiful Baja California peninsula–the westernmost territory in Mexico. I planned a week long road trip with 3 friends to explore the largely untouched terrain and thoroughly enjoyed making an Instagram reel to remember the trip by! In today’s world of mobile phone dominance I’ve been pushing myself to make more content in a vertical orientation.

2020 With Jenna

There isn’t much I can say that was great about 2020. But quarantining on the road with my amazing girlfriend made it better than I thought was possible. This is a short edit I made to remember those tumultuous times in a more positive light.

My Life In a Meditation

This is a 3 minute passion project that took me roughly one year to put together. There are 3 parts to this video, the first representing my past, the second representing my present, and the third representing my future. The main goal of this project was to challenge myself to tell a story and find ways to evoke emotions without using any script or dialogue. The footage was filmed over the last 3 to 4 years of my life. If you’d like to read a more detailed summary of the symbolism and creative process behind this you can read the description on YouTube.

Reserva Santa Lucia Promo

Reserva Santa Lucia is a reserve in rural Ecuador only accessible by a 2 hour bus ride followed by a 2 hour hike. My friend Izzy and I were able to get a discounted rate to stay here for 3 days and 2 nights after I agreed to make them a short promo. We were the only guests during this time and left with a newfound appreciation for the Amazon.
