DIRECTORIAL DEBUT BBY 🎥🎥

To be very honest, the main reason I have stopped myself from creating in the past is knowing that ultimately I would’ve been trying to create something that I thought other people would like and whether or not I was proud of what I created would’ve been entirely reliant on how it was received.

I’m so grateful that through recovery I have been able to cultivate an actual sense of trust in my own taste for the first time in my life and was able to create this as an honest manifestation of my own creative impulses and vision.

The result feels so unlike anything I’ve made before and simultaneously the most authentic thing I’ve created.

Major gratitude to everyone who helped make this a reality!

Previously they have been a company member of Whim W’Him, a guest artist with Mark Morris, Alvin Ailey and BODYTRAFFIC, danced in music videos for Blink-182, Alessia Cara and Justin Beiber among others, ad campaigns for Tinder, Ralph Lauren and Meta and appeared as a featured dancer in Greta Gerwig’s Little Women.

Some moments from a recent duet I made with @davidprottas for @eros.la

It’s very rare I get commissioned to create work that has queerness at its center and was very appreciative for the opportunity 🤍

Let’s be real, instagram isn’t exactly the place people come to flex their attention span, so here’s some bite size moments in case you need some incentive to watch the whole thing 😉
