And I can’t forget about my guy AD reppin for Chi-town!

Grateful for having worked with both of these legends. This one is special. #forKobe

It’s been fun and exciting to have more and more opportunities to explore directing! It’s been something I’ve been hungry for ever since the iconic 5D Mark II dropped, making us all wanna be Hype Williams. Seriously, why can’t everything just look like the Belly club scene? Seeing my name on that slate hasn’t gotten old yet, and I don’t think it ever will. I’m continuously thankful for these opportunities. Big thanks to everyone involved in this production. It was no small task to get it done safely during this crazy time. Power couple, @jalenvseverybody and @mollyqerim for @gatorade directed by me. I didn’t know Molly punched that hard, or that Jalen could still get up there for the lob. Catch the full commercial on a tv near you! Production: @greenpointpictures

You’re not a real hooper if you never got in trouble for dribbling in the hallways

@sbird10 the legend became a 4x WNBA champion tonight!

The thing that kicked off my career was simply a personal project documenting basketball at Simeon High School. I titled that project ‘Crew Love’. One of my favorite players from that team was a bouncy, slim, lefty guard named Kendrick Nunn. Crazy that I watched him go from playing in gyms across Chicago to now playing in the NBA Finals for the Miami Heat.
