PRODUCING
Jordan Downs -
Bank of America
Working on this campaign truly impacted me. We focused on the community of Jordan Downs in Watts, LA, a community that lived in ‘temporary housing’ for over 70 years. Recently, the residents of JD became the recipients of brand new apartments and were also involved at the ground level in creating the vision. We were able to share this inspiring story through this docu-style piece.

60 women : 60 minutes : 60 stories. Producing this pro bono event for the World Woman Foundation was a highlight of my career thus far. I oversaw and managed close to 60 ‘at home Zoom shoots’ in 6 continents, in over 15 timezones, in just over 2 months, all while our 12 editors simultaneously edited all 60 videos. We worked with women from all over the globe and shared their stories with the goal of inspiring the next generation of heroes.
Check out how we made this happen with a behind the scenes look.

Stonewall 50 & SAGE
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots, we partnered with SAGE (an LGBT+ nonprofit) to create a series of videos, sharing the stories of heroes who survived the Riots in 1969. Below are four vignettes I was proud to lead production on, from pre-production, to filming over two days in New York City, through post production. Almost all of our crew and post team were members of the LGTBQ+ community.

Walgreens // In Safe Hands
The “In Safe Hands” campaign was Walgreens’ first remote shoot during COVID-19. It was an overnight shoot at a Walgreens store in Orlando, FL, with 15+ talent, a limited window to film while the store was closed, and our very own ‘virtual video village’ over zoom. It was an experience like no other!

Back to School
Ahead of the ‘back to school’ season, we interviewed eight (adorable) kids at a school in Queens to get their opinions on why teachers are so important. We delivered 21 videos within two weeks, including the spots below
Barclays
Below are two examples of a series of videos I produced directly with Barclays. One highlights a tuition free training program called “Per Scholas.” The other is part of their “Power of Two” campaign, featuring strong working relationships within the company.
Per Scholas: Jade
Power of Two: Sashalla & Erica
Chapstick
We traveled to Barcelona to capture all of the live action components of this spot, while partnering with Logan to complete the VFX portion.
Side note: I would highly recommend filming in Barcelona!
