New year, which means I needed an updated directing reel for all my projects I worked on this year. Constantly growing and learning wherever God takes me! 2023 was a great year, the first year I started taking film 100% serious. Got a lot to learn but extremely blessed and grateful for all the people who helped out on or supported my projects! Truly built my foundation on a rock by the community who constantly supports me. May God bless you all! Got a lot of cool projects for 2024, so stay tuned! . . 1st Corinthians 10:31 “So, whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do everything for the glory of God” . . . . . . . . . . . . . #film #movie #cinema #movies #photography #filmphotography #actor #art #filmmaking #cinematography #love #films #mm #hollywood #s #filmmaker #video #music #filmisnotdead #actress #director #tv #instagood #instagram #netflix #photooftheday #drama #filmcommunity #Godbless#repentandbelieveinthegospelofjesuschrist
