I am so grateful to the Harris Office, Senate Rules Committee, and Sharan Dhanoa (Director of Strategic Development South Bay Coalition to End Human Trafficking.)

Had a great time shooting a music video for the band Hello Noon! We filmed it to test out the new Samsung 360° 4K 3D camera on a rooftop! On one side of the 180° axis we had the band rocking out to their song "Tell Me", and on the other side of the 180° axis we had the pleasure to work with talented dancers Olivia and Doug preforming a love story!! Coming out 2018. |
