Scarecrow TrailerWinner of the 2019 Narrative Musicbed Film ChallengeOn the edge of town in Texas, a gas station stands alone. Inside, a man known to the locals simply as, Scarecrow, runs the register. His day is flipped upside down when a girl, bloody and out of breath, asks for shelter in his station.

Pepsi + LA ChargersA few weeks ago, I shot and directed a commercial for Pepsi and the LA Chargers. The story is about graphic designer Francisco Reyes Jr., aka Nevermade and his collaboration with the Chargers defensive team "The Jackboyz". Reyes came up with an unreal mandala design to set the team and the brand apart from all other merch in the game. Proud of this one.

Chevrolet GoalkeeperWinner of 5 Clio (Gold, Silver & Bronze)Chevrolet developed a new project called Goalkeepers. The initiative encourages young girls to get into sports, helping them to build the confidence, leadership, and teamwork skills they need to achieve their goals in life, whichever path they choose.The first phase of the program brought together 11 young female soccer players from all around the world, handpicked to be Manchester United mascots, in association with Chevrolet’s sponsorship of the club. The girls accompanied their footballing heroes onto the pitch at Old Trafford and trained with the team. Each mascot wore shirts representing their goal, from becoming an architect or engineer to inspiring people through art.
