What does chasing the American Dream look like when it feels just out of reach?
Jun is a Korean-born tattoo artist and small business owner in Brooklyn, NY. She’s also been part of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) immigration program for nearly 20 years, after arriving in the U.S. as a small child.
As she builds a life and business in the only country she’s ever known, Jun reflects on her undocumented status, the grief of losing her brother, and the looming reality of family separation — all in the age of rampant ICE raids and rising anti-immigrant sentiment.
ONLY IN DREAMS, coming soon.

We’re excited to share screengrabs and BTS photos from “Escape Velocity,” our latest documentary short film made in partnership with SurvivorNet, featuring support from Novartis.
The film follows Navy vet, engineer, businessman and avid climber Joel Graybeal, whose battle with metastatic prostate cancer became a story not of illness, but of resilience, love, and flight.
We are grateful to Joel and Caroline Graybeal for opening their lives to us with honesty and courage. Their partnership is truly something to aspire to.
Special thanks to NFL Hall of Famer Emmitt Smith for lending his voice to Joel’s story, as part of the “Men Beating The Odds” video series.
Find the full film at the link in our bio.

Full Video for "Not Alone" documentary.
Jordan Lally is a singer/song writer living the life of a touring musician, whose band "Big Infinite" is gaining momentum and acclaim, when it all comes crashing down in an instant when personal tragedy strikes. Forcing him to look at not just life through a new lens, but himself as well.
I can't thank Jordan Lally and his family enough for allowing me into their lives, and sharing their very personal story with me. That dude really has it figured out. And of course the band Big Infinite as a whole. Great chill band, who carry on with open arms.
