A half a year after a premiere of “Nocturnal betrayal” which happened at @basic_magazine ’s Gala in Miami I finally found the way how to post this full length horizontal video here on IG as a reel - just rotated it, genius me 🙄 Better later than never.

I have a wonderful story for you! I don’t get to see my mom often, and seeing her is always super special, yet the last one my friends made absolutely unforgettable.
Last time when she visited me in LA in September, @mattehnes somehow found time in his insanely busy schedule and flew all the way across the country just to photograph us together, then flew back the very same evening 🤯 It’s something I’ll never forget. In these beautiful photos I re-live the whole visit now.
@berry_nice88 also dropped everything to do my mom’s makeup and make her feel beautiful, like honestly, seeing my mom that happy meant everything to me 🥹 Somewhere between all the selfies in the car on the way to the location and her nonstop smiling, you could just tell she felt her best.
And the flowy dress from @hellomolly … I had never seen my mom twirl like that before 👗She was spinning around like a teenage girl. At one point I genuinely had a “hellooo… are you my mom? I barely recognize you” moment 😆 Completely happy!
That memory is priceless to me. If you have the chance and such privilege, hug your mom. See her. Take the photos.
Happy Mother’s Day♥️
I’m trying to be intentional with my AI in an era of noise. As a videographer, I’ve always used the high fashion and a female form as a vessel to translate my own world. The world outside though seems so busy and exhausting now, and this vignette is an exploration of my own inner stillness. In a landscape where digital noise is unavoidable, I’m looking for where my signature aesthetic lands. #GeorgeMasin
I’ll never lose the appreciation for what the body can do when pushed with discipline, guidance, consistency, and the right fuel. It’s such an art form.
This one tested me.
Huge shout out to @georgemasin who created this magic. Your talent really will always go unmatched.
@jakedeshner / @totalnutritionandtanning who gave the direction, fuel, and push to get back on the stage. Thanks coach.
@truenorthathletictherapy who kept my body ailments down, and prevented small issues from becoming big ones.
@revivebodyoptimization keeping my body running optimally and feeling aligned.

Holi has always felt like more than a festival to me. It’s a reminder that culture lives through community.
Across the diaspora, we gather in color and laughter, practicing something simple but powerful: BELONGING.
As immigrants and children of immigrants, many of us carry multiple worlds within us. In a country that often feels divided, moments like this remind us that unity is something we actively create.
I’ve always believed creative communities should function like ecosystems, not competitions. When one of us rises, we all rise. The goal is not to tear each other down but to build spaces where artists, storytellers, and dreamers can uplift one another.
Representation matters in those spaces. So do the relationships we build across gender, nationality, and identity. Those connections are what make community real.
The world right now is politically heavy and complicated. Instead of sitting in guilt or helplessness, we chose something else today: joy, solidarity, and togetherness.
Happy Holi. May we continue building communities that choose color, creativity, and care for one another.
