As the industry keeps shifting, this year has really been about saying yes to every opportunity that feels meaningful.

It’s only May, and I’ve been lucky enough to spend the past few months making a feature film I’m genuinely proud of, shooting commercials across Los Angeles, San Francisco, and New York, attending the festival premiere for a feature film we shot in Cape Cod, wrapping the final sound mix on a short film, completing the draft for a new script, winning Vertical of the Year for a micro-drama, and making a couple music videos alongside some wildly talented creatives.

Still learning, still growing, still grateful.

It’s been an amazing ride getting to produce Scott “Kid Cudi’” Mescudi’s directorial debut. We built an amazing team both in front of the camera and behind and were able to film a feature actually in Los Angeles, which is kind of rare these days. It was incredible being able to do it with not only the best producing team but also good friends @antbaldino and @markwebber . We made something special together.

2025 was a year of saying yes. Yes to big swings, small chances, and everything in between. It turned into the busiest year yet. Twenty-four commercials, two produced films in post, some great pitch meetings, and directing a new project alongside some truly amazing people.. The year took me from LA to San Francisco, Florida, New Mexico, Denver, France, Amsterdam, and Germany. Above all, I’m ending the year with healthy, loving friends and family. Onwards and upwards.
