I was absolutely overjoyed by the opportunity to bridge my love of music and film by producing my first music video for one of my favorite bands, TOLEDO.

After meeting TOLEDO in April 2024, I worked with them to develop and storyboard a concept for their video. With the help of fellow filmmakers, friends, and CineCity Studios, we were able to film the video one month later, finishing the final cut two weeks after that to meet the band’s release deadline.
