I won an Epica!!!
Wow…what an incredible honor and amazing way to wrap up 2025—I’m excited to share that I won Bronze at the
@epicaawards for Commercial Directing!
This film for Singer Sewing Machines, made through
@elevenproductions was about celebrating a brand that’s been quietly present in so many lives, homes, and histories. To have that work recognized — especially alongside directors and projects I truly admire, and among a shortlist filled with such incredible work — is deeply humbling.
Huge thanks to an amazing client and longtime friend
@vollmerzoo1 who believed in me, trusted me to bring this beautiful story to life, and gave me the freedom and support to truly collaborate. And none of this happens without an incredible crew — my team at 11Pro and the amazing artists and collaborators who brought so much care, craft, and heart to this shoot. What an incredible way to close out an amazing year. 🥉✨
