In 2025, I had the privilege of Writing and Directing a spot for the Air Jordan 3 Retro ‘Seoul 2.0.’ The shoe celebrates South Korean culture and the goal was to introduce this culture to younger generations.

Thank you @doritos for giving us an excuse to create something fun. This is our entry for the 2024 Crash The Super Bowl Competition. A competition that I always saw go by and thought “I wish I would have made something.” Although we didn’t place in the top 25, we still had a lot of fun making this and are super proud of the final product!

This past weekend, our newest short ‘Type A’ had the privilege of premiering @bosunderground Film Festival @brattletheatre in Cambridge, MA. I was blown away by the quality of films, the attendance and the venue (such a cool spot for movie lovers). I hope to be back in the future! . . . The standout film for me was @offrampfilm directed by @damnathan . . . ➡️ for some BTS from ‘Type A’ . . .
