I proudly present: TIME’S UP! This one’s dedicated to the dreamers who work full time, part time or odd jobs to keep the dream alive. We dream on through our exhaustion, our tight wallets, the state of our world and the torture of jobs we simply don’t belong in. We settle for these jobs just to pay the rent and so often we get trapped there to keep up with our bill cycles. But the dreamer lives on- the dream is always calling. Sadly, no knight in shining armor/ alternate reality version of yourself is going to show up to save you from your day job. A version of you who has all the answers, who knows what you’re supposed to do, who isn’t afraid, isn’t going to step out of a portal and take out your boss. And yet, I’ve always believed that the universe knows what path aligns with your deepest truest purpose. I think it extends little chances to you over and over, asking you time and time again to answer the call- it’s up to you to pick up. This concept, deeply inspired by Everything Everywhere All At Once, plays off of the idea that ONE crazy decision and the bravery to see it through can change your whole reality. You don’t have one second to spare- time’s almost up. Don’t miss the call- go. NOW! DIRECTOR, CHOREOGRAPHER, WRITER, PRODUCER: YA GIRL @directedbybuttons Cinematography/edit: @anomaly__co DANCERS: @ft.fiona @kenndances @pri.shit.a Evil Boss: @italianpolo Stylist For Dance Looks: @lizziemadeit Custom Nails: @nailed.by.ryan Rehearsal Assistants: @manuela.mango_ & @mariachgp95 BTS Cam/ On Set Assistant: @_chefkeys Song : GALA - @xgofficial I’ll be sharing SO much more about this project and the process in the days to come :) For now, please enjoy ! 12 Apr 2026

“Folded”- A Fatima x Buttons Collaboration Direction and Choreography: @itsfreakinbuttons and @fatimayana_ Videography & Editing: @crickvisuals Dance Cast: @diamonnnnnd @therealdejamcnair @sunnyramirez_ @laurenroebuckk @shalem.lem_ @itscamillej @dreavxo @fatimayana @itsfreakinbuttons A HUGE shout out to our film location 1925 Laundromat in the big BX for welcoming us into their space and granting us permission to make magic! We can’t recommend their space and their service enough and if you’re in the Bronx, pay them a visit! Despite the fact that we’ve danced together for years and both of us are known for our visuals, this is our first time creating together! We have such a similar brain artistically and it made the process of making this a true collaboration from start to finish. From planning out the camera movement to the choreography itself and the story behind it, our ideas blended seamlessly and our incredibly professional and talented cast brought it to life in one rehearsal. Thank you so much again for your time and trust yall- we really did that 🥹 Tag our girl @kehlani if you think she should see Folded 👀👀👔 #folded #kehlani 20 Jul 2025

I proudly present: “YOUR BODY MY CHOICE” -if politicians can chant it as a threat, we can too ☺️ *This is a dramatization- no scumbags were harmed in the making of this video* Written, Directed, Produced and Choreographed by yours truly : @itsfreakinbuttons DP & Editor : the one and only @shvwnfvckingcooper Lighting/ Crew: @_chefkeys @matthewjames_nyc PA: @kenny.curls Actors/ Dancers: All TAGGED! Too many to fit in here ! Music: @blvck.bunnie This is commentary on just ONE aspect of a not so far-fetched dystopian future. This is a response to the visceral feeling many women felt at hearing politicians and incels across the country proudly tout “Your Body My Choice” as if they ever gave a FCK about a baby or an innocent life. This is an exploration into the topics of street justice, female rage, community, fcking around and finding out. This is your reminder that half of the country is okay with electing a rapist. This is your LOUD reminder that 1 IN 6 women have been the victims of attempted or successful r@pe. This is a welcome release among a society that has cursed women with chronic generational people pleasing, freeze/fawn responses and politeness so deeply programmed at the hands of men that it kills us. And most importantly this is a big fat cathartic FCK YOU to every man who has ever reduced a woman to an object or a statistic. More thoughts and behind the scenes peeks to come ❤️ 06 Feb 2025

Teamwork makes the dreamwork 💫 a little behind the scenes of our campaign with @goodwipes from director & choreagrapher @directedbybuttons “Creating with these superstars is genuinely so refreshing. It’s not everyday that you find dancers who are more interested in being human and relatable than being the coolest and the best in the room. The Bobs really do lead with love and playful curiosity in everything that they do and it makes shooting something like this- a video about streak-free undies - an absolute blast to do. They were so willing to just lean into my absurdity and still managed to do it with the undeniable professionalism and cleanliness of true performers. In my dream world, all my jobs look like this one 💕 Thank you again for bringing me into the Bobiverse, I love it here ! Enjoy this glimpse into our process together and grab you some @goodwipes while you’re at it!” #dancevideo #behindthescenes #teamworkdreamwork #collaborationgoals 11 Nov 2026

Here’s my face and my hair growth 🌸🌺👶🏼💕✨ (The millennial in me yearns for photo collages. Idc, I’m bringing them back ) 08 Nov 2026

The alien nerds finally made an alien short 🛸 🥹 Concept & Direction: @directedbybuttons Cinematography, Edit and Sound Design: @anomaly__co Set Design, Staging & Wardrobe: @lizziemadeit Starring : @corinne_justine & @frankocruzz Alien SFX: @directedbybuttons Special thanks to @axmshootseverything for last min lighting ! 🎶: @erykahbadu the one and only ! I’ve had this idea to this exact song for so long now and I’m so happy to have brought it to life with this particular group of humanoids. I’m grateful as hell for friends -old and new - who are down to film preposterous alien crash landing concepts until the wee hours of the morning in the freezing cold lmao. We would love to hear what your take on the story is 👀 30 Oct 2026

I give you: my true form!! This weekend was SUPPOSED to be the Ren Faire if it wasn’t for this damn Nor Easter 😭 In honor of the Faire that never was, here’s a mystical fairy fit that I made myself and a custom nail set by @nailed.by.ryan to match! Been reminding myself lately that my art extends way beyond dance and I’ll be trying to share my physical crafts a bit more ✨ #fairy #costume 26 Sep 2026

Serving you temporary headshots straight out of our living room thanks to my pookie pie ✨💕😛 My hair is sooo wildly different in my last ones that this needed to happen BAD. Was waiting for it to be my desired color+ length but then I remembered that’s what extensions are for ✨ (shoutout @manuela.mango_ ‘s mom for the cut on these extensions!) I can’t wait to get into a proper studio fully styled for a set of super official new pics but honestly Brandon is so elite that you’d never know these happened in our apartment. Thank u baby! @_chefkeys 😚 😚 Send these to someone who wants to book me 💕✨ 18 Sep 2026

PERU DUMP 2026- you have our hearts and you owe us not a SINGLE thing 😭😭 Genuinely the trip of a lifetime - thank you x 1 million again @calv_02 for convincing your coworkers to fly to another continent and sharing the magic of your world and your wonderful family with us ❤️ I am forever grateful and I’m gonna be dreaming of here until maybe forever ?? #peru #beatravelernotatourist 22 Aug 2026

And that’s PROFESSOR Buttons to you babe!!!!! Been sitting on this one for a lil while and have been bursting at the seams waiting for the moment it was official😭 I am beyond honored to be joining the department of Drama, Theater & Dance and teaching my first course as an adjunct professor this coming Fall semester- class is almost in session!😭😭😭🥹 This has been one of my biggest long term dance goals- bringing all that I’ve collected from my dance journey thus far back to the college I studied at. To have the chance to come in as a guest choreographer and spend the semester crafting a piece for their fall concert is a true dream come true. Thank you x a million to @delirious_dances for all of your guidance in getting me to this point. 18 Aug 2026
