🎇🎥 Releasing this project almost moves me to tears.
NOT because it’s visually or with regards to content extraordinary -
But because producing it came with SO many obstacles. 🏔️
🌌 And there were so many reasons to give up at any given point during the production, but whenever an obstacle emerged, we made the conscious choice to push beyond it. 🏃🏽
And that came from years of working in the film industry and watching others pushing beyond relentlessly, plus trusting our skills and instincts. 🎥
That’s why I’m especially proud of this first project in LA. 🎉
I am incredibly grateful to the team for sticking with us through “WANNA BE”.
With all my love
