Boyz II Men "One More Dance" (Carl Verna, dir.)

This was my first time working with Boyz II Men and I hope it won't be my last. BIIM we're consummate professionals in every sense of the word. The most difficult part about this experience was post, why because every performance take was perfection. We shot this project on Full Sail University's campus using the Arri Alexa. Brilliant DP Ryan Funk lensed this beautifully for us. BMiller Films edited this video like he was inside my head and my actress Kareen Kennedy gave me all the emotion I needed tough to do when there is no dialogue to support the drama.

Leilani Wolfgramm "Sunshine" (Carl Verna, dir.)

Leilani Wolgramm cousin to the super successful R&B/POP band from the 80's and 90's THE JETS is a phenomenal talent both on the musical and visual fronts. She will be a force to reckon with throughout her career. Most of the concept was in Lei's head so my job as director was to translate those ideas into a canvass that made sense on screen. Fortunately I had a master DP at my side Anthony Kimata who had worked with Leilani before and understood her aesthetics.
