Work
Why the Sun × the Moon live in the Sky (ft. Chloe X Halle)
This piece was produced for Vogue and directed by Julie Dash (Daughters of the Dust), whose visionary work notably inspired Beyoncé's Lemonade. I collaborated closely with Dash as motion picture editor, helping shape a style that blended Nigerian folklore, lush visual storytelling, and contemporary aesthetics, showcasing musical duo Chloe x Halle.
An Improbable Dream
As motion picture editor and Executive Producer of Post-production for 'An Improbable Dream,' I shaped a documentary that reunited the National Ballet School's class of 1981—featuring stars like Rex Harrington—35 years after their training. Originally aired on CBC Television, this film weaves vintage footage with candid reflections, capturing the enduring impact of Canada's premier ballet school. This work earned a Telly Award from the Canadian Broadcasting Company.
The American Flag Series
Joseph Breton's "American Flag Series" explores the artist's evolving relationship with American identity. Inspired by Arizona's landscapes, Breton employs vibrant colors and mixed-media techniques—incorporating global newspapers to comment on economic forces shaping the nation. Through this series, he examines themes of unity, opportunity, and shifting values, revealing both critique and appreciation for America.
Lou Forestieri performs Mother's Melody
Acclaimed composer Lou began his career in Los Angeles writing music for commercials before transitioning to television and film. With a classical jazz background, his compositions reflect diverse influences. While "Mother's Melody" showcases his pure jazz sensibilities, his broader portfolio draws inspiration from 20th century classical composers like Bartók and Stravinsky, demonstrating his versatility and depth as a musical artist.
Ten Days with Art
This hour-long documentary provides an intimate portrait of internationally acclaimed artist Arthur Secunda at 90. The film captures Secunda's determined spirit as he confronts the challenges of Parkinson's Disease and deteriorating vision while still striving to create. Through candid moments in his studio, viewers witness both the physical struggles and unwavering passion of an artist unwilling to surrender his lifelong creative practice despite mounting limitations.
Sundust
Sundust tells the story of lovers separated when a plane carrying biological weapons crashes near their home. While Felix joins other survivors in sterile containment shelters, Maya is classified as "missing." Through Felix's determined search within the quarantine zone, the narrative explores profound loss, bureaucratic coldness, and the enduring power of hope. His discovery of Maya's notebook three months after the disaster offers both connection and heartache, illuminating the space between presence and absence.
Sleepless Worlds
This work examines humanity's paradoxical relationship with conflict through the Unified Peace Effort initiative. It explores how war has simultaneously devastated communities while driving innovation throughout history. The piece challenges viewers to consider channeling our adaptive capacity toward cooperation rather than division, envisioning a path that harnesses human ingenuity for peaceful advancement.
