NEAR COMMERCIAL is a video poem where I had the pleasure of being one of the Directors, main Editor, Colorist and Actor. For the video poem we spoke to the client about the meaning behind the poem and decided the poem should evoke nostalgia. Because of the color edition on the images and the aspect ratio, this was reached succesfully.

MUST HAVE BEEN THE WIND is my own personal version of the story told in Alec Benjamin's 2020 single. I wanted to tell the story of domestic violence through the eyes of a third party. The use of purple is also of importance as it is not only the color of the artists album but a also the color used to speak about violence against women. This was a solo project where I took on the role of Writer, Director, Producer, Cinematographer and Sound Departments and Makeup and Wardrobe.
