I directed this pandemic-era video series for Stella's partnership campaign with Sofar, the Virgin-backed music business named one of the most innovative companies in the world. In it, we created a campaign about the unique ways different cultures celebrate the summer. In New York, LA and Miami, we filmed summer anthems during summer solstice and we interviewed artists from diverse backgrounds about their favorite ways to savor the season.

I directed this hero video series and was also the creative director across the entire campaign. While directing, I shot performances from artists like Evan Giia, Maye, Elena Rose and Magdalena Bay. I used special lenses, rare filters, various prisms, split diopters and more to create a look that encapsulates the sun-drenched, warm hued spirit of summer. All of the visual effects you see here were captured in camera. I didn't cheat and add anything in post
