Click here to compare the vision to the product!

Cinematic music video for a song that was “lost” and recently found again though the origins and subject are lost to memory and time..

Playing with the unreachable elements of memory - this is an experimental video to pair with the soaring songwriting and fierce performance of Aviva Vuvuzela.

Reaping - Trailer #1

The first trailer for the short film anthology, "Reaping".

Featuring "Careless Men, Lead Careless Lives" by Vanna.

This production was made with the intention of marrying poetry to cinematics while not only giving the artist a chance to "play", but to also give the assembled cast and crew an opportunity to work in the roles they aspire to.

This project features a different crew for each part. The only constants being the direction of Brandon Mishawn and each part revolving around one of his poems.

This anthology was conceived early in 2023 and shot between October 2023 to late december 2023, with editing wrapping up in spring 2024.

The anthology will not premiere until the 2025 festival season. Part 5 "Say It", will screen on it's own through 2024.
