Just a group of cool cats working on the @kahhspence x @chatgpt ad!
Donโt confuse a small crew with small effort. Every bit of the production was hand touched by some of the most talented people in the game! Most importantly, we had so much fun crafting the whole thing. Hereโs a small glimpse of the production process all the way to the music development that was specifically crafted for this! These were jammm packed days!

This really became the little film that could!
Iโm incredibly proud to announce that our short film, Playground Director, is an official selection of @hollyshorts , a major Oscar qualifying short film festival, screening at the iconic TCL Chinese Theatres in Hollywood!
In the words of Sam and Jackson in our film~
Sam: โI didnโt know I could look like this!!!โ
Jackson: โEveryone can! You just need to see it!!โ
This film was pure imagination and all fun. Sometimes you just have to see what something could be, take the leap, make it, and see it through. You never know where it might end up.
A huge shoutout to @cinematographyforactors for believing in this film and supporting it from day one. If you donโt know about CFA yet, get involved! They truly help make dreams come true!
Weโd love for you to come watch with us!

Last year we shot a live performance video for @sheybaba โs soon to be released track โThis Revelation.โ I knew I wanted to use the Fujifilm GFX 100ii. Iโve used it for various passion projects but this was the first real chance to use it for one of our @cutfocus productions.
Honestly blown away by how good it looks! Especially paired with our vintage 1968 Meyer-Optik Gรถrlitz Oreston 50mm (cine-moded by @ducloslenses ). It was also an honor working with @sheybaba who happens to be one of @carebearcarin and my favorite artists! When you listen to this track, youโll see why!
