Non-Fiction Work

A 1-3 minute video can reveal a lot about a person or a business. As seen below, I've crafted videos that visually and audible describe each subject's values, energy, and goals. Storytelling is key to marketing and I've executed the art of integrating the two as I created these promotional videos during my time as a student at Purdue University and after.

 

I learned so much about working with clients to help put their stories on the screen. I enjoy the process of bringing these stories to life and look forward to future stories I have yet to tell.

Chicago's Favorite Florist (on Roku)

I worked on this documentary with three other students for my advanced Fresh Films class, a film training program young adults. Several dozens of high schoolers and young adults around the United States created a documentary with Fresh films. Our documentary was part of only a handful of those documentaries that were selected to stream on the Roku Channel.

Film and Video Promo

The head of the film department at Purdue University selected me to direct a promo video for the Film and Video major during my senior year. The filming and editing process took several months and included 16 interviews and around fifteen hours of footage. I also directed a team of four other students who worked as camera and sound operators, and second unit. 

​​

I created a one minute promo for social media (shown to the left), a five minute video delving into further detail of the major, and the remaining footage will continue to be edited into more detailed segments on specific classes.

Boiler Green Initiative Promo

This one minute video was created for my digital advertising class where we focused on client work. It is intended for Instagram and briefly explains the activities the environmental club at Purdue participates in and what is so special about the club.

​

During production, I faced and overcame a lot of struggles so I learned a lot from this project in particular.
