Client: HAILES
Production: HELLOVNO
Director: Gyal Dem
DOP: Daniel Murphy
Post-Production: Mark Sorensen (edit); Marshall Plante (color); Vivian Wang (gfx)

Production Highlights:

• The director duo, Gyal Dem, approached me via HELLOVNO to collaborate on a music video for LGBTQ+ artist HAILES. The R&B singer wanted to release an anniversary visual for her single, “Gravity”.

• I oversaw the project’s budget and hired teams accordingly. I strategized the execution with trusted production partners from Los Angeles, Miami and New York in order to assemble a quick, nimble crew in Portland, Oregon.

• Filming on Meadowlawn Farms, I coordinated with the property owner and animal handler to ensure a safe and smooth shoot with the video’s costar ‘Finn’ our noble steed. We had a beautiful, sunny picturesque 1-day shoot.

• Following the shoot, I remained actively involved in the post-production process, supervising edits and graphics from San Francisco, while coordinating the color grade with LA-based celebrity colorist, Marshall Plante. This project’s success was based off of the strength of my professional relationships.
