Instead of focusing on what making this will bring you, focus on what you contribute to this art to make it the best it could possibly be, with no limitation.
With the objective of simply doing great work, a ripple effect occurs. A bar is set for everything you do, which may not only lift your work to new heights, but raise the vibration of your entire life. It may even inspire others to do their best work. Greatness begets greatness. It's infectious.

From The Core
a compelling visual journey offering a faith-based approach to healing from trauma and PTSD, extending an invitation toward a renewed and hopeful way forward. This transformative project captures the raw path of reckoning, healing, and transformation through the lens of hope and possibility.
Filmed and photographed amid the vast, open landscapes of central Washington, this project was crafted closely with the author to develop an evocative visual style that resonates with the depth of the message. Each image is infused with intentionality—still images were captured on the Hasselblad digital medium format, revealing every nuanced detail and emotion. The video, shot on the ARRI Alexa Mini LF in large format cinema, embodies a sweeping cinematic quality that amplifies the powerful themes of inner strength and resilience.
The resulting visuals convey not only the weight of the journey through trauma but also the beauty and freedom found in healing. This project is a profound call to live fully, embracing transformation through faith.
