special

Special is a series of short films where I combine visuals, voice, music, and story. Every part - sound, pacing, editing - works together. They all vary in style, but the focus is always on how it feels.

The videos don’t explain themselves. They always hit something. Sometimes it’s a smile. Sometimes it’s a weird kind of sadness. People take different things from them, but they always feel something. And that’s the goal.

I don’t wait for inspiration - the process is the inspiration. It’s natural for me to start making something without knowing exactly what it will become. I go into the work fully, and it builds itself as I move.

I make each one fully, start to finish. And I absolutely love doing it.
