This one has been a long time coming…Between touring full time and succumbing to the mentality that most creatives share and are susceptible too,( not feeling good enough, loving something one day and doubting yourself the next, having unrelenting motivation that evolves into misdirection) In this industry it’s too easy to forget how crucial music is as an outlet of self expression, and how much positivity it can bring to yourself, and others. If you struggle with doubting the validity of your own creations, do it anyway. What are they gonna do beat you up 🤷🏽♂️ Thanks for believing in me, while my self confidence will forever be a work in progress ❤️
Special thanks and much love too: @roseblooood@teddyswims and a ton more
Testing the Arri Amira with Cooke Speed Panchros and natty light. Can’t express how nice it is being able to dial in audio levels without even wearing headphones on this camera. Thanks to @joeyyruffin for singing through his hangover for me.
Got to play DP on this one a while back. But @magnolia.arthouse & @ericd3 were really the ones who made this piece looks so good. Thanks to @s2s_productions_ for bringing me on

The way it starts vs the way it ends. The freedom of shooting a bunch of broll then editing it together to tell a story is something I miss. Probably made 5 versions of this edit. When I first started piecing clips together I immediately made the footage B&W bc each scene had different colors that weren’t flowing together imo. But with some input from others and a lil tweaking we ended up bringing it back. Still think I like the B&W rough draft cut the most ;)
