Filmmaking Projects

Summary

As a filmmaker within an architecture firm, I was able to document the design processes, from development stages through completion. This included working with architects to create community engagement programs, and traveling to project sites to host interviews that allowed us to hear from and document the thoughts of the people we’re designing for. From these events, I post-produced short-form videos with Davinci Resolve, that went on to be used for campaigns, project updates, social media posts, website collateral, and future engagement events. Some of these short-form videos were for the following projects: the National Gun Violence Memorial Project, the AIA Film Challenge for the Embrace Memorial project, the King's Chapel memorial, and the New Lots Library project.

Commercial Drone Photography/Videography

Drone Operator, Producer, Editor

Having a passion for photography led me to getting a commercial drone license. Capturing photos and videos with a drone offered me a new perspective to things, literally. It's allowed me to capture the fabric of different communities and help with ongoing development needs. It has also given me the opportunity to collaborate with architects on their building projects by pairing their renders with my aerial footage to create more photorealistic images for proposals and presentations. An example can be seen below, where the aerial footage I captured of the construction site was merged with a render to create a more photorealistic representation of what the housing unit will look like upon completion. A short reel highlighting some of the select aerial videos I've shot and produced are shown here.

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into your mouth.

The Embrace Memorial (Boston, MA)

Producer, Editor, Drone Operator

AIA Film Challenge is a film contest that amplifies the stories of architecture projects that are transforming communities through the power of design and collaboration. For this challenge, we created a short film to highlight the Embrace Memorial in Boston. To provide a living space for conversation, education and reflection on the racial and economic justice ideals of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Coretta Scott King, a the memorial and monument embraces America’s first public park, Boston Common. The Embrace, inspired by a photo of the Kings locked arm-in-arm, brings the power of physical collectiveness to a site where, in 1965, Martin Luther King called on the city to live by its highest ideals. The Embrace embodies the collaborative efforts of city leaders, King Boston, MASS Design Group, and artist Hank Willis Thomas to represent the Kings’ time in Boston and their approach to a just and equitable society.

King's Chapel: Memorial to Enslaved Persons (Boston, MA)

Producer, Assistant Editor

King’s Chapel in Boston is creating a memorial that will serve as a site for reflection, a catalyst for conversation, an inspiration for activism, and a beacon of hope. King’s Chapel is actively uncovering the church’s early and enduring connections to slavery. Engaging these painful parts of our past is already transforming the way we understand our history and the way we share our story with the tens of thousands of people who visit the church on Boston’s Freedom Trail.
