Musings
noun: a period of reflection or thought
This film was made in the company of people who inspire me & who continue to do so daily. A transformative project that initially was meant to be solely a photo shoot and dived into something way more nuanced - my intentions when creating are profoundly personal and fixed on making things count, whether it be the team itself or the vision of the project - being mindful and open to each lane and hand involved is vital. The changes that may arise during the process are a beautiful thing. I can’t thank this incredible team enough who were able to trust me—to Nahir, who cultivated the space, energy, and precious time for months leading up to the production and being able to follow our creative passions through and through. To Taylor, who spent years patiently with me trying to make this vision come true. To Siul, who created a beautiful score with such intensity and drive that matched the essence of what we wanted to capture with the video. & To Alejandro, Carlos, and Edsel, who stayed consistent and driven with their craft, putting their time and energy into making this come to life.
Truly blessed 🖤

I’m so grateful for this opportunity. Directing is a new role that I am entering in my career, and being able to gain trust and support from friends like Ari is truly a gift. Working with highly talented individuals inspires me to match their gifts and create at the highest level. Everyone involved was brilliant and highly professional, bringing creativity to the table. This video is a testament to that and wouldn’t have been possible without these individuals below. Excited for what’s next 🌟
