Some BTS and a still from Let It Be Known
What makes doing any project worthwhile are the people you get to do it with. I couldn’t be more grateful for these humans, and everyone who joined us in this project. It also wouldn’t be possible without all of you who continue to support us. If you haven’t watched it yet, the link is in my bio.

aarvee - Let It Be Known - Official Music Video
When Ryan first came to me with the concept for the video to accompany this song, I knew we had something special. It was dynamic, exciting, and, like all our previous work together, would be fun to execute.
We couldn’t do it alone, and it took the heavy lifting and creative input of each member of our incredible crew to execute. They deserve all the credit.
I have the absolute privilege to get to do these videos for a friend who I’ve known for almost 20 years, and I couldn’t be more proud of this one. The link is in the bio, please go watch there. It means the world to us.

Pour up a drink to celebrate Captive’s first festival acceptance!
Captive is an Official Selection at the Ridgewood International Film Festival ( @ridgewood_int_film_festival )in Ridgewood New Jersey, and this will be its first public screening. The day the film will be screening is currently April 24th, but we’ll keep you all updated on when and where it will be.
To celebrate here is some BTS from our weekend of shooting.
Hope to see some of my east coast friends at the premiere 😉

After two years since wrapping production, I am so incredibly proud to release these images from my next short film - Captive
To @bri.bayer the co-director/writer/editor and champion of this film, I’m so grateful for your tenacity in getting this film to be the best it could be. Your vision was incredible and it was an honor to work along side you.
Our incredible cast gave us much more than we could ever have hoped for. You all brought so much to each of your roles and it was a delight to work through each of these characters with you. It shows in your performances the talent you all have.
The entire crew of this project stepped up to every challenge presented to them with a smile on their face. Whether it was digging themselves out of a snow bank and getting tire chains to save the rest of us when a freak snow storm rolled through (@ziyamorris you deserve to be on the Mount Rushmore of producers for that one), or constructing a cage from scratch (killer PD from @nennaprod.mp4 ) you all are what made this project possible.
To @skylerbocciolatt@tiny.machine and @cslarentals you’re the support I can always count on. Thank you for working with us and providing the best service in the industry.
There’s plenty more people to thank but I’ll end it here. I’ll be posting a lot more about this film in the coming weeks, and it’s been sent off to festivals so hopefully will be playing on some bigger screens near you.

Recline

Had the pleasure of shooting the cover art (3rd slide) for @iamaarvee new single “Recline” accompanied by a few other frames from the shoot. The song is out now on all streaming platforms, go and give it a listen. Slow shutter for the win.
