body beautiful documentary short
A portrait of body positivity in Bellingham, WA. Watch my documentary short about local dance teacher Patricia Mallet.
the process
This was my first longer form video project and the process involved a ton of learning about lighting, filming and editing techniques. After taking dance classes from Patricia for a couple years I knew that she would be a perfect storyteller for this project. I conducted a two camera interview with her and arranged several consecutive visits; filming her again 4 more times. I got to see firsthand how impactful her philosophy has been on her students, shooting her classes and performances several times. We also had a sunset shoot at Patricia's favorite park, which elicited a perfect combo of dreamy sunset lighting and Patricia's dance style outside of the studio. To this day, this is one of the projects I'm most proud of and I'm forever grateful to Patricia for letting me capture her story.
save our billions
A mockumentary chronicling “Save Our Yachts” a satire campaign against repealing the Washington State Capitol Gains Tax.
the process
I launched the Save Our Yachts campaign in 2022 and was asked to bring it back again ahead of the 2024 election cycle. I figured that a mockumentary would be the perfect way to showcase the campaign narrative and got to work recruiting the "ananoymous rich men," collecting footage and storyboarding the entire video. The video triggered some media attention for the campaign and helped boost the "Save Our Yachts" channels, including the website, twitter and Instagram. This was just one part of a larger digital strategy but was a great creative outlet to combat the pretty technical and confusing slate of initiatives our opponents were trying to pass.
