Days 4 and 5 of "Bulería to the Heart" 💃. Special thanks to @winterparkballroom for letting us use their space and tell our story with these visuals. The overnight shoots were specially stressful but nothing that teamwork can't fix! Shoutout to our DP @belen1918 for putting up with me during those last days😭 Love you girl! 📸 by @cjbenavides14

The Behind the Scenes Documentary of "I Want The Night To Stay" Tour by Clayton Bryant is reaching its 1-year anniversary, so here is a short trailer in case you haven't seen it! This was my first independent project right out of college that I was able to direct and produce 🎥 Go give it a look! 😎 Huge thanks to everybody in the team that made this project possible @belen1918@claytonbryantsings@iamphilg You can find the video on YouTube, just check my bio! #filmlife #documentary
I've found that timelapses are the best video recording method to capture the speed of production life. Here are a couple of clips of some of my latest work activities, from organizing rentals, packing gear, to shooting little social media content with my friend @shesgotthemagic 📸 at @cspmediagroup ✅ It's been a wild ride! Can't wait for more. #filmlife #rentals #production
Here is a small recap of the last couple of months of 2025 ✅. I wanted to give a huge shoutout to all my freelance clients @aces.matter@pilatesbyvv@theecurvyconfidence , and @greenlightcameras@mariofmarini_films for all the opportunities they have been so kind to give me as an intern. And thank you to everybody that follows me! Hopefully I can make more content for 2026. Until then, see you on set! 🎥 #filmlife #2025recap #freelance #productionassistant #miami

1 month post-grad dump! I've been able to keep volunteering in student productions with some wonderful friends, shoot training videos for SPARK, and keep working in the postproduction process for my thesis film "Buleria to the Heart" ❤️. Excited about what will come next! #filminginorlando #filmlife #premierepro
